this should read is *she* being unreasonable

[Tortington]

slight trivia here - but am a bit about what to think

dd's bf who has stayed here twice previously booked tomorrow off his paper round which he does 7 days a week.

he phoned his mum and asked if he could stop over, telling her that he had booked the morning off.

she said "no" by booking off the morning you had already assumed that i would say yes, so come home.

i think she sounds like a bitch - but i spoke to her last time and she had a complte bitch tone - i mean she is talking to the gf's mum - you put on airs and graces to a degree and not a complete cow voice

so never met the woman and she has my back up... so wonering - is she just a loon?

or was she right to order the bf home as he had obviously made plans without consulting her?

oh, if food is out as a reason (thought it might be a treating this house like a hotel-type thing) then she is just being mean.

There is no way i'd stop my stepchildren planning something for no apparent reason - he did ask, after all, not just not go home on time...

"she said "no" by booking off the morning you had already assumed that i would say yes, so come home"

she's right.

but why shouldn't he assume she would be likely to say yes to a perfectly reasonable request? She's in with her bf, he's planning a nice night under great supervision with his lush young gorgeous lass. why has he behaved unreasonably? cause his mam is a meanie, that's why!

I am quite surprised you let a 16 yr old boyfriend stay over

Bloody hell what is she going to be like when he starts spending his paper round money on hash and staying out all night without her say so - very over the top about something that really isn't that much of a buggy at 16!

I wouldn't let him stay over under any circumstances.
I think it's a bit wierd, letting your teenagers have sex whilst your downstairs watching telly

oh we dont go down stairs and watch telly we sit and listen at the door.

Very funny
Seriously, don't you find it a bit uncomfortable though?

But he is 16, I presume he is about to receive his GCSE results? He is a young man, she must cut the apron strings.

Ds is only 4 so I have a while before I need to worry about these sort of things, when the time comes I would be delighted if he actually asked my permission to stay at a steady girlfriends house with a nice family, assuming that you are a nice family. I was jetting off around the country when I was that age.

She doesn't sound fair. Playing power games for no reason. No wonder he spends so much time at yours.

you lost me mrsruffalo - what am i finding uncomfortable?

read the thread v. carefully before answering

MrsR if you read the thread you'd know he sleep in her ds's room.
