Younger son who lived with you until very recently? with his wife?
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

Good fucking grief, Laura. I have so many thoughts. But you have the right of it with this:
My time. I am 66 and not going to waste my senior years trying to please kids.
I mean, I don't have kids, so what do I know, but I KNOW that's right.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I haven't yet 'baby-proofed' my house
Well, that's a little hard to do from New York, for one thing.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, he and his wife lived with us for months, with their own living room, bedroom, bath, and separate fridge in the garage. He was bitching that I didn't keep the dishes up when they were here, which made them uncomfortable! Seriously, if I was living for free with someone for months I would have done the damn dishes. We have a cleaning person once a week, and seriously rarely had dishes in the sink. But dude, if I didn't have time to wash my dishes then your option is to do them yourself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes. C'mon, younger son, think about that for two seconds. I'm sorry, Laura, that doesn't sound like fun for you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have so many retorts rolling around in my head I can't put one together.

There was a lot more, but I ended up telling him I didn't deserve it, and left. DH stayed and talked to him being peacemaker and such, but I have nothing to say to him at this point. I wrote him an email this morning, copying his wife, and we will see if he responds with an adequate apology. If not, it is his loss.

Man, Laura, I am so sorry you have to deal with that.

Ugh, Laura, I'm sorry.
