Trying to stay disengaged, BUT it's soooo hard...
SS14 moved out exactly 6 days ago. So during those 6 days I know he has gone to a local amusement park 3 times. I know this as my dd14 works there and has seen him. Now, we all have season passes; however, at the beginning of the year you have to take the receipt in, show it to customer relations, and they will give you your pass. So ss14 never went until he moved out 6 days ago. Never expressed interest or desire so never went and had his pass made. The paper is still at our house so I know he didnt take it with him when he left. So how the heck is he getting in?
Well when dd14 saw him today she spoke to one of the boys he was with and that boy said that the other boy has been paying his way in the park. This is about a $40 cost x3. SS has been with this creepy neighbor boy (who always has tons of cash) each time and evidently he's paid 120.00 in 6 days to get my ss14 into an amusement park in which he has a season pass for.
So-as I mentioned this boy is our neighbor. I am quite certain that his grandparents (with whom he lives) are not aware that he is paying for ss14 to get into the park. I am quite certain my inlaws are not aware that he has milked this kid for at least 120.00 in the past week (as although they are assholes they are also proud assholes and they would consider this charity). So do I keep my lips zipped? I am truthfully tempted to locate the reciept, throw it in the trash, and then tell dh that I think he is milking the neighbor boy for admission.
On one hand its none of my business, on the other hand we have to live near these people. I have no argument with them, I dont wish to, and I truly believe they would not want him spending all this money on ss14-I feel as if I am being a bit deceitful towards them by saying nothing ( I would want ot know if my kid gave some other kid 120 over the course of a week).
So what do you think? Should I keep my mouth shut?
The other maddening thing is that the pass receipt is HERE in our house. SS spent the night with this neighbor kid and coudl have easily stopped by here this morning to get it-I mean he can go fish practically in our backyard with no qualms, so you'd think he wouldnt have a problem picking up this receipt.

I could let that go. lol.
I could let that go. lol. Because the bigger the offense, the more likely my DH MAY have to pull his head out of the sand and do something about it.
Also, its a good lesson for the g-parents. A little Welcome to my world present.
Call me evil, but I'd let it go, keep the receipt and ask the obvious when it all comes out - SS14, why didn't you just pick up the receipt to activate your season pass? You knew it was here. Then sit back and see what happens.
Much more satisfaction than ratting him out early.
Ahhh, he wants to stay close
Ahhh, he wants to stay close but not THAT close.
Hide the reciept. And let things lie. Then nothing will stick to you because "You know nothing!"

im with oneoffour, 'you knew nothing!'. he wants to be a sneaky sob, u let him. and when he gets busted, not your kid, not your problem. hes not under your roof and u let your daughter know shes to play 'stupid' as it were as well should the crap hit the fan. ive done it, it works. its just funny to laugh at later too b/c these kids think their being sneaky.
OR, you could go and bust neighbor boy b/c who knows where hes getting this money from. but yes, either way, hide the receipt.
