Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Don't make the mistake of thinking my kids are workshy losers. My lad despite his problems in life bought his house at age 21, Not many kids manage that. The eldest focused on paying off her student and professional studies loans (40 grand in total)and is now saving for a house.
As I said of daughter no 2, she is a paid student and has got commitments like 3 kids (sorry that should be four if you include her husband). She is not afraid of work and does extra bank shifts to supplement her income. She has a lousy taste in blokes. I know the problem is Mrs W. We would not have this issue if the original loan, (but #2 will think gift) hadn't been made. Mrs W and #1 are currently scheming. I am ignoring the fact they have got themselves stuck in Lanzarote and my phone has died. As far as I am concerned the SIL is no man. He has no pride in himself or his ability to provide for his family. I really wish #2 would wake up and tell him to get lost.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I get what you are saying Timwilky. I was lucky in that I, my ex and her husband David, all had the same attitude towards supplying additional funds. It helped that David had previously loaned several thousands to his son who then flatly refused to repay him. That was over 20 years ago and they are still estranged.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That really sucks Tim, on finding that on the credit card bill I would have gone ballistic and removed all my Mrs cards from her and insisted she gets her own account which monies can be transferred into, like you say the issue is with Mrs W, she needs a few lessons in money management!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
People who take credit for work they never had any involvement in and claim it was down to them

Things have moved on. She has paid for hotel and flights home. I cannot blame her and she agrees if it was just the grown ups leave them to sort their selves out. But the grandkids do not deserve thier parents stupidity. Daughter is still in denial. We have to be there an hour before. So we turn up and get ****ed about by the car hire return who delayed us so we were unable to check in. No get there in time to return the car and still have time to check in. Thier flight tomorow is about 1:30, We have said be their for eleven. Why! Because you do not have tickets. just a reference. you need to ensure that if there are any problems they can be resolved before the flight departs....Will they ever learn

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Welcome to the Trumpian Empire! You should be fine as long as you are not traveling with anyone who even remotely looks to be Muslim. Or Mexican. Or Gay. Or Liberal. Or Democrat. Or you mind being groped or sexually harassed. (Apparently it's a thing among American Conservatives) However, on a more positive note, Swastikas, flaming torches and White Supremacists are always welcome!

My mrs and lad disagree. He's late for school almost everyday and it's never his fault. Traffic/roadworks/bus was late etc. But this happens almost every day so take it into account... I get nowhere
