well here I am, eric has called almost everynight, wanting to come home, from his dads. and his dad wants to stick him on a bus, 2 day ride, from Maryland,,, he's only 15,, I am HOT!!! so now he's wanting me to come get him, I cant afford that, so not sure what to do, I did tell his dad that he drove him there he is to drive him back, and if he puts him on a bus it WILL be the last time Eric goes out there. my sons saftey is more important than his dad taking a day off work, since he is his own boss he surely cant get fired. I am fit to be tide,,guess him making the old mighty dollar is more important to him. so Eric is going to talk to him again about bringing him home, cross your fingers, hope all is well with everyone,, I am going through a stressful time right now, lost my job Tuesday,, union start thinks it all comes down to me calling Krogers Corp, about an assistant manager, so we'll see, should know more Saturday,,, hugs,,,,,,Pam

Gee whiz Pam you sure have a lot on the table now! I think if Eric's dad wants him to go home now, and if he can not drive him then maybe he should splurge and put him on a flight back. No way should a 15 year old be travelling alone for 2 days.

Sorry to hear about your job...hope something else comes up soon for you!

Hugs, Lor

employees go.

Pam, I haven't been here for a while so I don't know the story. Is Eric wanting to come home sooner than expected? Surely his dad had some kind of plan for getting him home after his visit ended...and not a bus ride by himself for that length of time. I hope it all works out. Sorry about the job. Things were going so well. I hope that works out too. Perhaps you'll find a better one now. Fingers crossed here.

Kat,,, good morning,, Eric's dad picked him up the 4th of July, and never said he'd be putting him on a bus, Eric never stays long, gets bored, wants to come home, it isnt like his dad cant take the time off, since he is his own boss. Eric has spent his visit with his dad, working, sure he's made $$ but he's tired off working. he calls almost every night,,"mom come get me" I feel bad, that he's more less stuck. and now with my job in the air, I cant do anything. Our union Stwart is trying to get my job back, and with back pay I lost, the reason I was fired was over a bottle return slip,, I found and cashed in it was for $4.20,, I told them that yes I was in the wrong, so I dont know what will happen. No rain today, so I think I need to get out and finish painting and hang the rest of the shutters, yesterday I should had been out there, but I stayed on the sofa most of the day, well I best go, Everyone have a great day,, Pam lost in Michigan,,,

Pam,

Sorry to hear about what is happening. I do agree, if dad came and picked him up...dad can bring him back. Two days on a bus even at 15 doesn't sound good.

If the union steward is correct and if I recall, sounds highly possible, you should have back pay coming. Good luck on this Pam. Sending best wishes that all turns out well.
