[QUOTE="Lil, post: 655827, member: 17309"] I keep wanting to reply to this but I can't think of how to do it without starting a marital spat on the internet. But here goes. Yes. He's lazy. He has come right out and said he doesn't want to do the community service - and so I actually kind of hope the PA won't do away with it - but the problem there is he won't have enough money to pay for it in less than 2 weeks and he may be going in as little as 4 (possibly, though unlikely, less), which leaves very little time to get it completed when he's got to work around a work schedule now. As much as I wish he'd be forced to do it, I don't want him to NOT be able to go to Job Corps because of it or to be stuck in this town for two or three more months because of it. I want him away from all these people. Of course, I wanted that when we sent him to college too. I remember rather vividly how poorly that worked. I talked to the Job Corps recruiter today and had him email me verification that he'd been accepted so I could give it to the PA. I asked him if he had ever seen a court waive community service and he said he's seen courts drop FELONY charges altogether when a guy signed up for Job Corps. It's seen like going in the service, a positive step in straightening out their lives. I just hope it really happens. Jabber, I love you more than anything - but your attitude is NOT helping ease my mind at all. You want me to stop worrying? Try not being negative. [/QUOTE]
