You came up with a great Love & Logic solution. His mom should be THANKING you for teaching him these lessons now, while the consequences to him are small.<BR/><BR/>Her use of the words "pennance" and "sentence" show that she was never on board with the consequence to his actions.<BR/><BR/>And, in reality, D should be the one asking for a raise.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, all that aside, I am not seeing a pattern in you...are you?<BR/><BR/>If she decides to not stay friends with you, I don't see it as a huge loss.

Take this as an opportunity to be OK with someone not being OK with you.<BR/><BR/>XOLori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.com
