He told me yesterday that he would not drink on Friday or Saturday. When he got off work he had a drink at the bar at work. He had to borrow the money and then lied that he did not, but I smelled it on his breath. Before he got home he called me and said he was across the street and was going to go have a beer. I said you do not have any money, so how are you getting a beer. He said he was going to see if he knew anybody there and ask somebody to buy him one. I said all you have to do is come home and I will give you the money. No he was going in to do that. I said for pete's sake, you cannot even do one that I ask. He showed up at home and said he decided to come home. He wanted me to give him money so he could go. I took the truck keys and left him with the kids. I waited and called to see if he gave them supper and he did. I would not come home right when he asked. I stayed away a couple of hours and called and all he said was I just want to go have a pitcher of beer and be home. I said well you said the wrong thing. I do not care what you want and you better start caring what I want. LOL Like that will happen. I got some groceries and came home and he was reading the kids their Bible story. He said because I had asked him to do it. I said that book is two years old and I asked and asked, and then demanded, and you still did not. You then even said you would and didn't. I told him that he better get it in his head that I am not working one whole day for him to have happy hour at work. One drink costs $3 and that is nuts to think he is going to have that daily. If he wants to sit at the bar there and talk then have water. He can drink across the street. I told him that he is not going to drink 3 pitchers of beer a day unless he wants to get a parttime job. He is $900 short of having enough to pay bills, buy groceries, and have his 3 pitchers. That means that is all I am working for and it is not happening. I started this job to help this family get somewhere and not so he can be a glutton and drink all he wants. He said all I want is to go across the street and have a beer. I said if you tell me that one more time it will be the last. I have heard that stupid excuse of what you want and it does not matter, it does not wash, it does nothing but put me into a fury and you better not say it again. I have heard this daily for two years and I do not want to hear it again. My son is 5 and he would like candy daily. My daughter is 11 and she would like pop daily. I told him that one more time is all he has and I am going to go to his boss with him and he is going to tell his boss he has a problem and does not want anybody to sell him anything to drink at that place. I made him swear on the Bible and I wish I had not done that
He did swear to not drink at work and that he will only drink one pitcher of beer a day. He said he means it. I know he does. I just forgot he cannot help himself. I am going to tell him to take that back. I do not want him to break a promise like that. It was not fair. I know he means well, but we are just not rich and he cannot do this everyday! If it was just the beer then why not buy it from the grocery store where it is cheaper? No fun to do that. He likes drinking across the street.
