[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 598926, member: 3907"] Sig, I'm sorry. I too hope that you're wrong about this setback knocking difficult child for a loop. Maybe this is a kick-in-the-pants that will bring him a step or two closer to reality. Fingers and toes crossed that difficult child uses this as a jumping-off point for good decisions rather than derailment. We also have a few music festivals and other crazy-ness that descend on us throughout the summer. I can fully understand why you're dreading it, and hope that difficult child surprises you pleasantly by not coming a cropper. As to the landscaping, around these parts it's big business and very lucrative for people who get into that line of work. The fellow who used to take care of our yard years ago when he was just starting out now has a fleet of trucks and several teams of landscapers. If your difficult child can stop partying his earnings away, he may be in a position to get started on a great business venture while his peers are racking up student loans that will have to be paid off later. (If he's worried about his image, that might be something for him to think about. When the others are all entry level, he might already be an established entrepreneur). My condolences on the passing of your aunt. Sending many calming and soothing vibes your way. [/QUOTE]
