you can pick your friends

You can pick your friends but not family is so true and friends are far less stress .I am sick of being accused of treating my oldest son differently to the others I dont .He causes me alot more stress than the others do and I often wonder where I went wrong .Every time he feels hard done by he goes crying to mummy and I get a headache from her , hes 30 years of age for god sake and expecting my grandchild ,I wish he would grow up and realise where his priorities lie .Money burns a hole in his pocket , when the girlfriend packs in work to have the child they will only have his income to relly on to pay the rent , bills etc and they have no savings and a baby on the way its really stressing me out .When I try to talk to him I get told I am picking on him I am sick of it .His track record speaks for itself , its not great but cant seem to get through to him and the wife isnt helping .Am I wrong to worry and try to get him to sort it out ? I dont think I am .

Yes you are aloud to worry I’d do same thing. Your only trying to help and there talking it wrong way. They needed to save for day one of the positive test is what we did with ours.
You sound a great dad they just taking it wrong way

@MiraRoss Thanks I just dont know what to do .I am seeing alsorts of bad endings if he doesnt sort himself out but cant get him to see sense .

@Rhodesianman once he hits that bad thing he will be in trouble and then he will understand you was only trying to help. But if he doesn’t listen to you that’s not your fault but his for not listening

@MiraRoss Yes I know just wish he would listen

@Rhodesianman you not sit him down and tell him how it is and how it could end

@MiraRoss I have tried and get told I am picking on him I just cant win

@Rhodesianman there’s nothing more you can do. Sounds like he needs to grow up a bit but only he can do that. He’ll soon find out, the hard way

@MiraRoss Thats what I am scared of .

@Rhodesianman you have tried to help there’s nothing more you can do or say. Has his mum had a chat with him?
Rhodesianman · 56-60, M
@MiraRoss She cant see or doesnt want to see she still acts like hes her baby , she has blinkers when it comes to him .
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@Rhodesianman oh no that doesn’t help at all
