Your response could have been, " probably take a hour and a half, maybe better if she came back," But no you let last summers grievences, that you should have taken care of last summer, imo, fuel a little thing into a big thing. Now you've lost your help and the opportunity to help shape a young man into the responsible young man YOU envision he ought to be. just my thoughts not even worth two cents. gobble
I agree. If it went down exactly as you said, you dropped the ball friend. It happens. Now, the real test of manhood is- do you have the character to call the kid up, tell him you were having a bad day, let him know why you jumped on him? You don't have to go begging with a weepy eyed apology, but you can let the kid know why he got the treatment he did. If he doesn't respond in kind, it's a dead end. If he does, you are teaching him how adults handle things. Might be good for both of you in the end.
Growing up in this world ain't easy. If kids don't see good role models, then they turn out like all the other lunk heads out there. I know I could of used a lot more good role models growing up. Just sayin'....
