Times, they are a changing

We just had Lovey's 19 year-old son (+1) and nephew down (or over, depending on where you're from) for the weekend. He is leaving for the military this week, and his +1 ran the whole weekend. We are calling her his +1, because names fade here, we don't want to give her fame, and well, we think it's a temporary thing. Anyway, she showed her true colors. Obviously from money "We don't qualify for grants even with 3 kids in college," and her damned pickiness with food. Home girl will eat HOT DOGS, but not 'red meat', and will eat HEB (grocery chain) blender chicken patties, but not whole thighs because 'that's dark meat.' DAFUQ?
At 19, she  is less mature than our 12 year-old. Every meal, she had some not-afore-mentioned dietary requirement, and seemed put off by all of our choices, which, as the Son is leaving, were all HIS requests. Poor nephew seemed to be the 7th wheel, and took off Sunday, before 9 when the rest of the house got up. She steered clear of the adults on Sunday, and they left Sunday night after toobing (a Texas thang) for 5 hours, they left at almost 9:30 because she hadn't seen her family in two weeks.

He is leaving for the military, will be gone 14 weeks, and WE don't know when we will see him again, but she has to go see her mommy cause they are having a BBQ today. 

+1 also stated that she cannot watch 'scary movies' because she then would need to sleep with her parents. At Nineteen. Even now.

Meh. 

That said, I'm glad R and D were here. I'm happy about his choices in rate, and I am confident that he knows what he is doing. That is a good feeling, because I was fairly sure he'd signed up for infantry and I would have to lie to his mom for 4 years. I am on the fence about +1 just because, not for her eating choices, of her attitude when the choices were there. I chalk it all up to "Home-Training Saunders Style," because she wasn't brought up to speak up BEFORE we went shopping, only until the meal was complete. That may be a new blog. Home Training Saunders Style. I like it. Oh well, enough for today.
