Hey there cityboy, is he in LaGrange California? If so that is probably more "country" than were you are. It's between hwy 120 and 140, on the way up to Yosemite, in the Sierra foothills, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I know because I just drove by the other day.

Anyhow, I wouldn't take it too personally. There could be a lot going on in his life that's causing him to make his decision. Maybe he's got a girlfriend, other friends, etc that he doesn't want to leave. I moved around a lot as a kid and I know it's hard to just pack up and leave. I didn't really have a choice because I was with both of my parents but I know that if I wasn't there would have definitely been times when I would have chosen to remain with whoever stayed put.

Whatever the reason, don't let his decision come between you and him. It doesn't sound like the two of you have a bad relationship, at least not yet. Just let him know you respect his decision and it will just improve your relationship later in his life.
Fengzi Reviewed by Fengzi on . My own son would rather live on welfare than live with me... I was in such a good mood all weekend, too. But this has been the monday from hell for me. I just got a notice in the mail that my son's mother is adding him to her welfare case, and I have to pay the state for it. In other words, I'm paying for her welfare check every month. Fuck, I have a good job. I have land in the country. Come live with me, boy. But he doesn't want to. :( Rating: 5
