[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 46298, member: 135"] Thanks to all of you for your replies. difficult child and his wife did have job interviews yesterday but difficult child worked there once before so I doubt if they'll hire him again. He is still oblivious; I guess he thinks money and food and all of the things he needs will magically fall from heaven. [img]:rolleyes:[/img] No, working for himself is not a option. He has done roofing and if he had a little dose of responsibility he might be able to do that for himself but he doesn't and he can't. I can imagine him taking a roofing job and getting there every day at the crack of noon or later ;)and taking a couple of months to finish the job or else getting mad at the people and not finishing at all and then not getting paid and losing money on the supplies. Not an option. HIs wife is about a crazy as he is but most of the time they take turns being crazy. I guess that works for them. If they both go off at once we're in big trouble. She was raised in a welfare family and two of her brothers are in prison so she really doesn't have any examples of common sense to draw on. I like her BUT difficult child needs to be the sensible one but he definitely is not. When they ask me for money I always ask them what it's for and if they need milk or diapers or something like that I just go buy them because I darned sure am not giving them cash as who knows what they would spend that on. But they are better at conning my mom and she's not about to listen to me for advice so I'm not sure what to do about that. She gives them money and then complains to me. I've told her it's her own fault but she just keeps on. I know I need to ignore that too but it's hard to ignore fingers on the chalkboard which is about what I consider then all. [img]:nonono:[/img] I am leaving for New York to go to my aunt's 90th birthday on May 31 and will be gone about 10 days. Maybe I'll take your advice and leave my cell phone at home.
