Well, when you drop somebody off in the afternoon with the understanding that you will be picking them up again in a few hours and they are not there, I would consider this to be bad manners in the extreme. Especially when the said person was given your contact details on the way to their work and they expressly told you that they certainly WOULD keep you informed of any changes.
She was at work. They have telephones there. She also texted me today.
This is not a teen in crisis. She is an adult. Admittedly a young one, but at 22 you don't get to play the helpless teenager card. She is the one who also said that she was an adult and refused to go home to Mum & Dad as it was time to stand on her own two feet and get her act together. She was rational and talked about needing time to save for a Bond to rent her own place.
i think you just jumped the gun
why would you get a furniture for her before she even has a home?
Even at 22, most are not as mature as we were at that age.
(if you are 22 and under and here on Somersoft, you obviously are mature)
Because I didn't have anywhere for her to sleep (I didn't want her on my lounge) AND it didn't cost me anything.
Because I didn't have anywhere for her to sleep (I didn't want her on my lounge) AND it didn't cost me anything.
then why do you complain? you did it for yourself, not for her
I most certainly DID NOT DO IT FOR MYSELF.
If she was going to be with us for a few weeks, then a lounge is not ideal for either her, or our family. This is why I got the damn bed. I told her that she could take it when she left, too, so that she had something to start out in her new home. How you see this as a benefit to me, I have no idea. She was well aware of this fact.
As for it not costing me anything, well, no it did not cost any physical, hard earnt dollars, but there was a damn lot of running around for her and the fact that she rudely changed what was happening without notifying me. They DO have phones at the restaurant where the pair of them work. Either she rang the aunt, or the aunt rang her during that period, so one more call is just the polite thing to do.
Well....time for an update. I get a text message telling me that she will be staying somewhere else tonight, but she'll make her way home to my place tomorrow morning.
Since I had no idea what to say to that, Hubby sent her back a message telling her that the offer was for her to move in for a few weeks because we were under the impression that she needed emergency help and had nowhere else to go. The offer was not to just come and stay when it suits her.
So, now to post an add on Freecycle for someone to get a free bed.
