SO is ever so gullible!
Forums:
SS19, soon to be 20, is going to Amsterdam with a couple of his pals this July.
I say to SO, "So does he smoke weed a lot then?"
SO says, "Oh, um, nooooo. That's not why they're going!" then has a puzzled look in his face like omg maybe she has a point???
I highly doubt somehow that 20something kids are going for the Anne Frank house!
How can SO be so gullible and naive?
And SS19 is supposed to be finishing his course in June. Apparently he's taking the summer off from looking for a JOB. So he gets a vacation before he's ever even worked a day in his life.
Kill me now. If this kid mentions moving here, I am gone. I won't do it.
Drinking, for sure. SS19
Drinking, for sure. SS19 already drinks, and way too much imho. It's legal where we live, but I still think it's a very bad habit to get into so young. Smoking cigarettes as well. He is socially awkward and I'm sure these are crutches for him. I'm hoping he doesn't add smoking pot to his list as he has no money, it's illegal where he lives, and personally I think it will kill any motivation this kidult has to ever go out into the world.
They could very well be going for sex too. Dare I even suggest that to SO? He might have a coronary!
I went for two weeks in 2007.
I went for two weeks in 2007. Red light district was a little strange. The girls just have that "dead" look in their eyes and there can be a line 10 deep for some girls. We did go to a show - ummmm no. I myself am a total perv but that was just nasty!
The coffee houses had menus on the wall of what type of weed you wanted. Some are broken down with morning blend, afternoon blend, help you sleep blend, etc.
We did tours through out the city, went to Anne Franks house, Heineken brewery and just enjoyed the small shops and food.
That being said - I could have been there for 3 days and did all that. Two weeks was just too long
Oh no, who in the world puts
Oh no, who in the world puts a horse meat product in a vending machine?? Answer: people in Amsterdam; horrible.
If you guys aren't paying for
If you guys aren't paying for the trip, I don't see what the big deal is. You say you don't want him to be even less motivated, if he starts getting high regularly. I understand the concern, but his motivation shouldn't be your problem or your husbands problem anymore. You can't control that, or him, nor can his BP's. If you aren't paying, it may be in your best interest to stop thinking about it if possible If you or your husband are paying in any way, no. Just no. He can get a job. Then when he can afford a vacation, after paying rent and utilities, he can go wherever he likes. I would not pay for another adult to go on a vacation, especially one without a place of their own to live or a job, aside of a spouse. I'm completely on your side with the living with you. Once hs is over, real world. I am so against this business of letting adult children live with their parents. Get up, get a job, get a space of your own, and be an adult. I don't care if they are in college or not.
