[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 662765, member: 18958"] I think you might be right. I agree here, too. This makes me sad because I know my son experienced this too. I kept making him get jobs. He would get them because he appears confident and attractive. He could not keep them. He behaved inappropriately I think, like wanting to hang out in the Costco break room when i was in Brazil for a trip, because he did not want to be alone in the house. Well now I feel like I do not have compassion, and I imposed my beliefs and needs on my son. But how do you find the middle ground between trying to motivate your child, and letting them, and permitting them to veg? I am not coming from that place, SWOT. After all I am at the far liberal end of the political spectrum, and after all must be P C (joke here) (auto correct had changed this to easy child. Give me a break.) SWOT, you are proud of your son who works, even though he has limits. That is so. Can you not understand me? I accept 99 percent of what you say, and humbly stand corrected. Try to understand me, SWOT. [/QUOTE]
