I am annoyed at the lazy young man who lives in my house..... I am pretty confident that there sterotype people have of "east coast" folks lives here. His lack of kindness, compassion & ability to be QUIET amazes me. Today (a typical day) he slept in, ate, slept, ate, slept, ate, showered, slept... and it is not yet 2pm when I write this.... and complained that Espen was to loud... WELL tomorrow we can be louder (yes this is what I told him). This is MY HOUSE. And MY SON lives here. I think the part that shocks me the most is his self centered & self serving behaviours. He thinks about absolutely no one but himself in regards to anything.
Yesterday he was dancing in the street. Espen darted into the street AS A CAR WAS COMING. I yelled & grabbed the baby and cried. The response was "well he should not be in the street". UGH. Neither should you when the baby is watching - idiot (was my response).
Espen loves blackberries ... at no time in the last week has anyone but Espen eaten them. Last night they suddenly are delish & now they are gone. When he was awake he asked if I was intending to go to the store for more fruit today. NO I AM NOT. I am not going until thursday when he is gone on a trip so that Espen can again enjoy the friut!! But it is also FREEZING outside and I am not going to drag the baby outside just so one lazy person can enjoy a big fruit salad in the middle of the night alone.
It is nap time and suddenly the clumsy self centered young man is bumping along in his room moving stuff, getting dressed, listening to music.... OMG... there is just not alot of respect.
This was what I initially thought a good idea to A) make a little extra money (we get paid monthly to house him) and B) a good way for Anders & Espen to have someone in their lives that may be interesting to know. Well STUPID mistakes won't happen again. Now I am COUNTING down the days until the end of March when he will be moving on.... And thankfully between now & then there are lots of weekends when he will be away. I eagerly look forward to those weekends!
Until then ~ I am trying my darndest to be open minded and kind (even if it is not reciprocated). And PATIENT.

And when he finally did leave it was in a rush with an I'll be late comment... and Espen had a book he wanted so badly for him to read.... how much time does it take to stop for a tiny little boy? So I read the book....
