What’s a Neighbor to Do?
Welcome today to our friends from Chris Spradlin’s insightful and practical EpicParent.
Chris was gracious enough to allow me to guest post on EpicParent today. You can read “You’re Not Alone!!” here.
Let me catch you all up.
This week we took a look at fifteen year old Desean’s choice to come home drunk.
We took a look at his scenario from three perspectives:
Today we’ll consider what a neighbor should and should not do.
What’s a Best Friend to Do?
Taxes are due this week. Tax preparers prepare tax returns, but what’s a best friend to do with a drunk best friend?
Let me explain. 1
Desean loved his friends. He’s got several friends. Not all of his friends get along together.
One night, a Wednesday night, Desean and Chris stayed out late. Chris had been with Desean and some of his other friends, but when they started talking about getting drunk Chris “remembered” homework he wanted to get done. He left hoping Desean would join him. He didn’t.
Desean’s mom and sister trusted Desean; and they trusted Chris.
What’s A Dad To Do?
Taxes are due this week. Tax preparers prepare tax returns, but what’s a dad to do with his drunk son who lives with his ex-wife? 1
Let me explain.
Desean loved his friends. It’s not that he disliked his family, he just loved to get out of his noisy, cramped apartment to have fun.
One night, a Wednesday night, at 11:30 P.M. you got a call from your ex. She snarled, “Is D there? He hasn’t come home.”
He hadn’t. You hadn’t any idea why she was asking, but based on her tone of voice she was angry, frustrated and scared.
