WHERE THERE'S MONEY.....

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Ken's son has not been to our house in two years. He has two little boys who are 5 and 3 yrs old and Ken has only seen his grandsons' about 4 times. I'll give Doug (Ken's son) credit, he does call his dad once in a while. What pisses me off is that he knows how sick his dad is and that Ken is working so hard to get our house remodeled and not once has Doug offered to come help him, and he builds houses for a living!

I have been screaming at Ken for over two years to ask his son to come help him. He finally did ask him to come help lay the tile in our kitchen. Doug agreed, but we had to pay him. It was a lot of work and I did write the check for more than he asked for, but, Christ, whatever happened to helping family? All of a sudden, Doug offers to come down every weekend to help. As much as Ken needs the help, we can't afford it. That's why Ken has been doing all the work himself; we just don't have the extra money to pay someone.
