We spent some time on various sites to look for possible rentals in L.A. for our son. Most of these are rather cryptic in the way they are written.  One is a mansion full of artists to rent a bed in a place that never quiets down day or night.

Our son was warned off of this site.  Another, with photos that have been staged, advertised a six hundred dollar a month shared bedroom with a Japanese young man.  He investigated this one.  It seems that this is offered by a married couple who sleep in the second bedroom with their three year old child.

I will paraphrase another rental offer:  “Attractive fifty year old man looking for an attractive, (please post a photo), twenty something year old female to share his bedroom for six hundred a month.  He writes that the offer includes sex three times a week.  He says he is generous with his roomates.  He offers shopping sprees and dinners out.

I almost asked my son to go to a resale shop and stuff his six foot four and a half body into a dress.  No hair and make-up needed.  The chin-strap beard is okay as well.  Post a photo and see what happens…I’m thinking.  He’s too busy looking for a “real” rental to fuel this nonsense.

I cried myself to sleep.  I thought that raising children was hard…being a parent of four adults is harder.
