It could have been a number of things. At this point in time it was likely the credit card stuff. Chris got some credits cards that he wasn't suppose to have and racked up like $3,000 in debt that Bob had to pay off for him (it wasn't the first time and it wasn't the last).I missed something in the emails even after re-reading. What "months ago mistake" caused Barb to take away Chris' car keys for a while?
Based on the context, I think it's either Ohio, the house tour, or his credit card debt.I missed something in the emails even after re-reading. What "months ago mistake" caused Barb to take away Chris' car keys for a while?
My guess would be the Ohio trip, when Chris dared to assert his independence. Who could have predicted when Chris learned to drive that this would allow him to go places against Barb's will?I missed something in the emails even after re-reading.

I've heard 14BLC described as many things, but "the house that love built" is a new one for me. This throws a whole new light on Chris burning it down."TRAPPING ME IN THE HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT... BUT YEARS LATER, CHAOS ENSUED! *sob*"
Poetry, man. Poetry.

Maybe it's just me, but I still found all of these fascinating. Applying for all kinds of jobs (with very limited hours that he'd be available, obviously because of his many other commitments), asking some poor Wal-Mart employee to measure his bust size, hating online job applications, hating the PVCC online system because he had to type in a number, getting dizzy thinking about trolls.This may or may not be my most boring batch. I'm having to dig through an insane number of useless forwarded emails. He may have sent these same emails to other people, so I apologize if they've already been seen.
This email is just an example of his most typical emails; fucking useless and a whole lot of "who the hell cares?"
Oh please, what "love" built that house?"TRAPPING ME IN THE HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT... BUT YEARS LATER, CHAOS ENSUED! *sob*"
Oh please, what "love" built that house?
I'm thinking they wanted Chris to get his license, only to run errands for him, and so they wouldn't have to drive him around anymore. It's plainly obvious they never expected, or wanted Chris to grow up, so that's the only conclusion.
Drunken sex and no protection built that house and caused the chaos, I would say.
He also kept driving him to job interviews even as recently as the Jackie saga, and he made Chris own up to his credit-card debt, had him pay his parents a little bit for rent, "got into argumentative sparring" because he felt Chris was... Well, Chris.After he got his liscense he attended college for a few years and briefly held a job. Those are valid and productive reasons for needing to be able to drive.
I think Bob did expect Chris to grow up. He forced him through an Associates Degree and always seemed pretty disappointed with his failures in life. He just wasn't sure how to apportion blame for that between Chris, trolls, and society in general.
"The House That Love Built" is an old tagline for the Ronald McDonald House charity.Oh please, what "love" built that house?

Chris has mentioned a few times that Bob basically made him go for his drafting degree. Bob knew if he left Chris to his own devices he'd pick something stupid.
