My friend promised my teenage stepson a job but now wont respond to any of my calls about it. What do I do?

A similar situation happened to me. My daughter was pretty much promised a job that then never materialized. MY friend told me the hiring was taken out of her hands. She only told me this after I pushed her for an answer. I was very upset and you have every right to be, not only that the job never happened but also because he's not responding to you (hopefully nothing has happened to him). My best advice to you is to just let this go and concentrate on helping your step-son find another job. Give your friend one more call, tell him how angry and disappointed you and your family are, and how truly disappointed you are in him as a friend.

Someday you may hopefully get the chance to deal with him face to face, but wringing his neck (which he deserves) won't help. Take a breath and move on.

Edit. Ignore Lauren.

It doesn't sound like he was intending on doing anything. He probably told you he would hire him to make you feel better and never thought another thing about it. You have every right to feel this way and it is totally on him. I know it is hard to get it through to a child, because regardless they are going to think you need to be responsible. I would make every effort to see if he tried to contact you and if not, tell him you can be friends but you can no longer trust him to tell you the truth. Good luck.

His silence is your answer. It won't do any good to keep calling or belaboring the situation. The man is a coward and can't face up to his broken promise. Use it as a lesson for your stepson. "Don't make promises you can't keep" and "Admit your mistakes."

Just let it go now and help your stepson find something else.

Comrade Obama created the jobs for unlawful extraterrestrial beings because of the fact Comrade Obama has a dream for a positioned up American international. Comrade Barack Hussein Obama stated in his e book 'Audacity of desire', “i visit face with the Muslims could the political winds shift in an unpleasant course what greater advantageous place for the Muslins to regulate our united states, than interior the workplace of the President of united states of america.” a individual can’t rather love united statesa. and Obama too, for to truly love one is to truly hate the different. could God preserve the yankee human beings and the unfastened international from the Democrat occasion and Barack Hussein Obama.
