difficult child got a job! We're dancing here--

[Origami]

My older difficult child (age 27) starts a job on Monday! He's been unemployed since April when he got fired, then was arrested, and was on house arrest for 6 months. This is a salaried position that will be enough for him to support his family on! He'll be on a probationary period for a while, which is normal I think, but he said he's not worried because he knows he can do the job. He's always been a good worker, just has a nasty habit of getting fired from things!

We're all so happy, and I don't want to jinx anything, but I was so worried it would take him forever to find something since he has two felonies from a few years ago. I want to break out the champagne and the packing boxes, but maybe should wait and see how it works out!

That's terrific news! Fingers crossed and hope all the best happens for you and your difficult child!

Congratulations to difficult child! Do you think he would notice if you just packed one box. LOL

Keep your guard up. Cautious optimism in your direction Yes, I'm a cynic. But I hope he can get it together and move him and his out. I want the rest of your life to be happy...I'm actually more invested in you than your grown kid. You have had a long stretch of being needed beyond the normal time period and I hope this will lead to lots of quality "me" time in the future.

Crossing fingers, toes, eyes and sending hugs.
