Quick background first off...DS1 & 2, 18 and 16 yrs old live week about with me and their dad.
DS2 in yr11, hates school and refuses to get a job says he wants an apprenticeship, which is fine but won't get a job a few hours a week to finance his social life that is better than mine!

Anyway yesterday he calls from his dad's saying he can't get hold of him to "borrow" money from him to go out do all you can eat dinner with his mates (who all have jobs BTW) so he asks can he have $20 and he'll come up tomorrow(being today now) my answer being NO as I'm still waiting on him cleaning my car for the last $$ he got not to mention about 10 other jobs not done! I had told him no more getting money for jobs until the job is done first.
So he tried my DP (the soft option) with a sob story and he gave him the $20 with the promise of him coming up home today to do whatever I asked him to do ...of course if he could get the money from his dad (as if!) he would just give it back to us no work needed

Sooo...it's now 2.35pm and no sign of DS2, I'm wondering if he'll show up to do jobs, or, with the cash?? Anyone want to place bets??

My money's on neither! DP will learn the hard way

Just wanted to get that off my chest.
