Ricky is just showing his independence since he's turned 21. They don't understand that Mother's worry at ALL ages of their lives!!
As for the friend working in the garage on his car.....I would just let Rick handle it and then it's not your problem. You can stay neutral and not have to deal with Ricky being upset at his parents.
We had our last Christmas party yesterday. My poor Mom......Only my brother showed up from his side of the family. I know that she was disappointed. She had already passed out her Christmas money so I'm sure that was part of the reason that they didn't come. At least most of my family was here and we still had a good time. The kids ended up staying all day.
We bought Jaci a camcorder when she was young and her and the kids used to make commercials and skits in the basement and record them. She brough a bunch of the disks and we watched them off and on all day. I laughed so hard!!!! I'm soooo glad that we did that!!! We also watched some of our 8 mm tapes of when the kids were little........I just wanted to cry at all of the time that has passed. The kids were so dog gone cute when they were small and it was so wonderful to hear their baby voices again!! I wished so badly that I could go back and hold them one more time!!!
I'm so ready for Christmas to move on......we've had enough!!! Now for some craft time!!!!
