Thanks kpat for your post! It makes a lot of sense to me as I have trouble putting myself first and sometimes I do cross the boundaries of helping and meddling. It is a tough situation to be in. I am at home now. The afternoon was completely wasted. The repairman showed up 1 1/2 hours late. He did call me to say that he was running late. Nothing was fixed. He had to order another part for the oven and he didn’t have the part for the dryer. He was supposed to order that 1 week ago, the first time he came out. He said that he would order the parts and have them expedited. He said that I could leave a key under the mat so he could get in as he didn’t want to inconvenience me. Um, that’s not going to happen!!! He wanted me to know he is bonded. Who cares? No one comes into the house without my Daughter or I there. There is a security system in place on the house. I called the warranty company and complained but they seemed not to care. I will not renew my contract with them again. I will find another home warranty company. So, hopefully the appliances will be fixed soon. Why can’t things run smoothly?? The positive thing that happened today was that my Grandson and both of his parents went to the new SpongeBob movie this evening. I am sure that it made him happy. I feel about the same. I am taking airborne and plan to go to bed soon. Whoo, it’s been quite the day!
