Haha it was a joke cause that's all he's seen me do working from home

That's not financially savvy, it's imature and cheap. You're also prolly the guy who never offers to pick up a bar tab cause you don't know what it feels like to be an adult and pay for things.

Just sayin, that rap is there for a reason

Just cause he has a bed there doesn't mean he spends time with them. Probably mooches off his buddies couch on the weekends.

Ey1 is prolly not close enough to his parents or maybe his parents are separated so he never understood what staying at home with family really means..i will give him the benefit of doubt.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?
