Night with a teenaged boy in the house

[The People]

I am house sitting. The son is coming to spend 1 night and see his dogs. One is fading. I have to get him at the airport. Then the next day I have to turn around and take him back. He will sleep downstairs. And I am so nervous about that part. I have known him since he was a baby but never saw him during the boy to man years. Well I saw him a few months ago but... I am just soooo uncomfortable. I cannot explain this to the family. They would be horrified that I am afraid of spending the night with their boy. But I cannot make the feelings go away.

how did it go? hope all went smoothly. can definitely understand the combined discomfort of the fear and not being able to talk about the fear!

He was fine. Fell asleep while watching TV with us. Mostly came to see his dog who is getting old. He is at that boy to man stage. The dog is his boy side and he is having to come to terms with the dog aging.

glad it went well. would have been a challenge for us too. coming to terms with aging, whether humans or animals, is difficult..
