My son has decided yesterday to go absent without leave.
The kids returned on Wednesday and as my son had left his job of putting away the drying, we had left him it, along with more. He had decided not to fully stack the dishwasher on Thursday morning despite refusing to unstack it the night before (the rule is that if the dishwasher is full because it has not been unstacked) leaving it for his mother. I am not sure if he relented, but yesterday, despite not having permission to do so, he decided to meet up with friends.
To be honest, if he had asked, I would have let him go so long as he had done his chores. But he had not. Needless to say, I am not pleased.
