What Really Happens When Your Kids’ Friends Take Over the House? You Won’t Believe the Stories!
So, a couple of weeks ago, Max and Mason’s two friends (both young adults) came over. After dinner, we were all sitting on the porch chatting.
One of them told us the story about someone he knows whose girlfriend caught him chatting with a woman overseas. And, the guy had sent her thousands of dollars. They tried to reconcile but then she caught him doing the exact same thing a few weeks later.
Their other friend trumped that story big time. He works with someone who owned his own successful business, owned his house outright, was married, and had kids. In just a few months, he lost his business, his house, and his family. How? He was corresponding with a “woman” in the Middle East who kept asking him for money. He sent her so much money (hundreds of thousands!) that he ended up going bankrupt. He now sleeps on a pallet at his new employer’s facility because he’s homeless. AND, HE’S STILL TALKING TO HER! Our sons’ friend told the guy, “You know it’s not a woman, right? It’s a guy sitting in a call center in Pakistan or wherever, sending you fake romantic words and promises, knowing you’ll keep sending him money.”
