I realize this may become a long rant, feel free to ignore me. But I just need to let it all out (well not all because it would be inappropriate, but the two things that are bothering me the most anyways). My husband's heard it all already and I find that Chaz folks are so often the voice of reason and can probably cool me down....
Our house rules are quite simple, respect our household and the pets that live in it. In fact, all house rules pertain to our pets, ALL of them. And one would assume that basic common courtesies, such as, cleaning up after oneself would and respecting the household would be obvious.
Does a 40 something year old man need to have it spelled out?
Geez..
Every month or two, we get a visitor. He stays from anywhere from one to two weeks. He is more than welcome, we are helping him by saving him money on a hotel and he is not only my husbands boss, but a family friend.
HOWEVER, all we ask is that he spend a minute or two with Buddy when he wakes up or when he comes back after being gone for awhile. Why? Because Buddy LOVES people. He will actively work to get anyone's attention and after getting attention for a minute or two, Buddy will go on his merry way. That's it, that is all that one has to do.
Can he do this? Noooo....
Buddy comes within one foot of him and he says "Buddy off." Buddy off what exactly?
Last night we bring dinner home, he's sitting in the giant bean bag, no biggie, Buddy was with us and goes to greet him, "Buddy off" and Buddy wasn't even close enough to him yet. ARGH.
This man is frustrating me to no end. i shouldn't get into business, and I won't as there is just too much to vent about, but I will mention that twice now hubby has been paid late. Currently, due to a couple emergencies, we are living paycheck to paycheck. We had it planned out that in the next two weeks, we would be okay again and could start putting away money to save for more emrgencies (God help us, we don't need anymore) but it's a responsible thing to do.
Well, according to the company, Paychex, mr business owner must call them to verify funds being sent to employees. The first of the month he did not do this and we received hubby's paycheck a week late, this was also rent check week. Thank God that the owners were on vacation and did not get it until after we had finally received that paycheck.
Now, it has happened again. He should have been paid today, but alas, there is no paycheck, as the company was not called. We have now gone negative.
I feel so completely helpless. He was given a copy of our house rules before he arrived and he had said so himself, that if he could not abide by them, then he would stay somewhere else. Well, he is not paying attention to these house rules and I am getting very upset. Buddy lives here, he does not. Respect us by respecting him or stay at the nearest Hilton.

. He should follow your rules, it's your house and he should do as you say. Buddy is part of your family and he should treat him that way!
