New to the board, fairly newly LBS from MLC.

Wouldn't it figure? We had a decent day yesterday so today he appears to have taken the day off or has decided to "work from home" at OW's place.

He did already tell me he wouldn't be here for dinner tonight. I may have mistakenly said, "I'll see you in the morning" when he left yesterday... It is almost like that phrase in and of itself is a trigger for him to NOT come here in the morning if he can help it. Maybe I am over-analyzing.

He told me yesterday that he would be here for dinner on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night... so I guess we shall see.

Son is supposed to go help out with a Scout thing on Saturday morning. H tells me "I will try to get back early that morning.
TRY? Well gee, thanks. I didn't respond, it seemed like button pushing or just setting me up for disappointment if for some reason he doesn't manage to follow through.

Weather is supposed to be pretty crap anyways Saturday and son has been having some behavioral issues at school the past couple days, it might be better to let him off the hook for the event. He's not really needed anyways, just offered to help because he is a good kid.

I am trying to let myself just enjoy the peace and quiet. It is nice to not have to play the "I am avoiding you even though we live in the same house" game. It's also a big improvement over having to hear him chortling upstairs over things that are so darn funny that he has no desire to share them with me, or listening to gangsta tunes about bootyshaking and all the obvious overdeveloped sense of entitlement stuff. :P

I suspect he will not come home at all. I guess in a sense that is having an "expectation", but not a positive expectation. :P
