The b/f is still traveling for business, so I have to deal with the damage his son did to the house during his party. Tonight, I met with my b/f's son and his ex-wife to assess the damage. This is the FIRST time I have been in a position of authority with my b/f's children and only the second time I've talked with his ex. The first time I talked with the ex was on Sunday when I discovered the damage.
Anyhoo, mom and son came to the house to meet me at 7:30 tonight. We walked through the house and I had the son take notes of the damage and the approximate cost to repair. He admitted to causing most of it, but said his little brother (15 y/o) is responsible for some of it. Gag!
All told, I suggested the damage was approx. $3,500. He was floored.
I also told him that his father and I would be talking at great length with him (and his younger brother) about what a potentially litigious situation he put his father in. I also told him that now that he's 18, the world will look at him differently and he is now an ADULT!!
Interesting night. I wish my b/f was here to handle this stuff!
More to come, folks.
Follow up to the B/F's Son's Party...

On the bright side, I am glad that he is responsible enough to own up to it (even if he did implicate his younger brother).

Did he seem repentant at all???
Your boyfriend owes you a big night out on the town or something you'd find rewarding for handling this mess!

Joan - great idea on making him do all the leg work. You are absolutely right that this is going to cost more than just money. And, who has the time to spend waiting for the carpet people, the cleaning people, calling around, delivering furniture, etc? My goodness, we have JOBS to go to!
I'll keep you posted as to what happens over the next few days. He is supposed to call around for a professional cleaning service and get secured, he is also to start cleaning up and clearing out the trash. Did I tell you that most of our towels and sheets are in a wet pile on the floor and are all moldy now? Geez.
Anyway, Dad comes home on Friday. I CAN'T WAIT FOR DAD!!
Signed,
Sad 7
