[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 551837, member: 1514"] Does your daughter have any training post HS? How did she do in HS? She seems way too complacent about her life right now. This whole "oh I will maybe apply at a fast food joint...sometime, maybe, if it suits me" stuff just doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me. Where is the get up and go stuff that most folks have when they are young. Most young adult teens have some kind of want to go out and work to get money if they arent staying in bed all day too. I could almost see it if she was out all night and sleeping all day but she isnt. I think your next step is pushing school or training of some sort. She needs to figure out what she wants to do with her life. I think she can get some vocational testing at community colleges or even HS guidance counselors that help you figure out what you would be good at or interested in as a career and from there you can help guide her in how to meet those goals but she has to start putting one foot in front of the other ...on the way out the door!
