[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 545497, member: 1514"] Im not going to address the pot but I have taken my son back in after he was out on his own. It didnt work worth a potters damn. Once adult kids have lived on their own they become fully functioning adults and if they move back home they revert to perpetual teens again. Its a nightmare. Construction work is what my SO does and has done for the last 30 plus years. Cory (my easy child/difficult child-gosh I love saying that!) has started working with his father and yes jobs can be hard to find sometimes but you have to have a good enough attitude and a good enough work ethic that companies will hire you. Your reputation will get around. When Cory was younger his mouth got the best of him and companies wanted nothing to do with him because he simply didnt know how to get along. Oh he could do the work but he wasnt a true employee. Now he is willing to listen and learn and he is working his way up in the company. They actually are proud of him now. We do go through periods of layoffs but that is normal for construction. You live through them. You cant just get mad and throw a fit. Its the nature of the beast. If he doesnt like that about construction, learn another trade. [/QUOTE]
