[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9339295, member: 19675"] One of my cousins is working on a project that essentially has him working here in D/FW 4 days a week while his wife & kids are still living in Houston. He travels home every Friday, coming back here on Sunday nights. The project is expected to last some ways into 2025. [I]SMDH[/I]. His parents live here.* His Mom will not let anyone into her house these days, and he speculates she may have become a hoarder. No evidence beyond the secrecy, though. So he’s staying at his Dad’s place for the duration of the project. But apparently, there’s no food in the house. Dad will pick up 3 pieces of fried chicken (and some sides) and eat that for 2 dinners.🙄 So his beloved oldest son essentially has to fend for himself. We hadn’t seen him in ages, so we invited him over for dinner at a gooooood local burger joint & socializing, which is when he dropped all this (& more) on us. At the end of the evening, I sent him out the door with a large ziplock of a huge batch of Hungarian-esque beef & mushroom soup I made and a similarly full bag of cooked cavatappi pasta to eat it over. (My petty ass half-hopes he doesn’t share with his pops, but that’s unlikely.) I also told him any holiday he can’t get home for or any time he wants to have a meal & company to give us a call. * Both are medical professionals, are doing well financially, and are true & practicing nutjobs. And I say that with love for his Mom. [/QUOTE]
