[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 174471"] Well...there you go...part-time also allows time for doctor's and therapist's appointments plus time to pick up the pieces (like driving seven hours for a college hearing). With creativity and planning, often with a part-time job, one can fit in these types of things with-o employers having a clue of concerns. Meanwhile, difficult child can be in the process of healing. You might consider taking difficult child to several grocery stores and other places that are inclinced to hire pt employees to put in an application. Think of a good (with at least a thread of truth to it) explanation as to why he only wants to work pt at this time in case he is asked. For example, he might say that he is thinking of taking a class at the community college and wants time to study. I agree, that you will likely encounter resistence to him wanting to work full time later on. One way to avoid this is to greatly limit the amount of money you give him for "extras," so that he is forced to earn money to get them. It is good that you have something [U]in the back of your mind[/U] "at the ready" for problems down the road. Wishing you much good luck. [/QUOTE]
