FRIDAY CHIP - Tolerant/Intolerant

[caressa]

Have been on the intolerant side of this chip yesterday and today. My dear son has given my phone number out and I have been getting numbers from girlfriends and his bosses looking for him.

He didn't show up at the girlfriend's as promised and as the phone calls increased in number the more annoyed she was and the final one was from a bar and she was far from sober.

Today his boss was returning his call and I had to redirect the call to the girlfriend's.

Enough is enough already! Things have to change for sure.

I allowed him to use the number to give to his boss when he was on call for work but like so many things, it has gone way beyond the boundary that was originally set.

Some things are just not acceptable.

Re: FRIDAY CHIP - Tolerant/Intolerant

I've been reading a bit on tolerance lately, must be my
inner-self telling me something....

"We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are
pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are
different colors ...but they all have to learn to live in the same
box." -- Author Unknown

In my situation, I am trying to mend fences with younger
sister. I need to remember it is the disease! I was certain
she went out of her way to be miserable with everyone around
her. But, I am learning if I can keep her on topic and avoid
her pity parties, there may be a path to reconciliation.

I need to remember how important it is to accept loved ones
just as they are, or people in general. I may never know
why they are the way they are... I have no idea what burdens
they are carrying.....

Peace on the journey..... ~SunnyGirl

Thanks for sharing my friend. I too forget that I don't know what is going on in their head. I don't know about you, but I really don't want to especially if it was anything like what use to roll around in mine.

When I see my son so hung over in the morning, I am grateful I don't have to go there any more.
