1. Hubby invited him? Hubby paid him? Hubby sends him home.

Tell Hubby to do it.

2. hubby is at work... kid doesn't take suttle hints just wants acceptance

and probably has it much better here than at home

but I hate to hurt his feelings


but I am tired of him being here

3. ayup

or find some more work for him to do

[greenbriar]

4. Finally he is gone

I fixed supper and said I wanted to feed him before he had to leave so his momma would know I was a good aunt.


Don't get me wrong, he is my nephew and I love him but he really does not have some social concepts down...


like personal space

adult conversation

taking cues about things




really he is more like an 8 year old in some respects

I feel sorry for him and want to protect him, but I also get my fill

9. Good catch.

5. Seriously, have you ever heard of the Golden Rule?

How would you feel if people trashed you behind your back on a public message board?

6. It's the Lounge: we're ALL subject to that treatment.

How often have you searched on your name or nick to see how your "friends" are treating you in cyberspace? ;)

And just think how bad it would be if you could listen in on cell-calls, texts and even thoughts... :P

8. Anonymity negates the Golden Rule -

and I mean that.

Scenarios presented here aren't "trashing people behind their backs." They're DUers who are asking for input on a specific problem.

Quick - tell me the name of the person offended by what was posted in the OP!

Quick - tell me where he lives!

Quick - tell me how you know him!

Quick - tell me the OP's real name and address!

See?

Anonymity lends a layer of protection, so your concern, which is quite touching and just a tiny bit scolding, can be at ease...........

10. Posting your pic negates anonymity

Once you post your pic on this site you should assume that there's a way to connect your real name with your user name; and be aware that lurkers who know you in real life might be reading your posts.

12. What does that have to do

with what I posted?

You didn't answer my questions.

Can you?

11. Hand him a mop and a bucket and announce "Wednesday - your turn"

Then motion to all of the tiled surfaces in the house. He should be out after doing the hallway.
