[QUOTE="Fran, post: 62060, member: 3"] Hi mom to 3. It's been a long time. I'm sorry to hear that difficult child is still trying to live an unproductive life. I can understand the offer you and your husband made as it seems that she was headed for a career choice that could put her in a dangerous and scary position. Hopefully if you keep reminding her how stressful living as she has, she will try to keep her focus on doing better for herself. I think you did a kind thing, even if she doesn't manage to follow through. It gave her some reprieve. She may not acknowledge it but you know it was an important thing you did for her. My difficult child seems more ambitious since his easy child brother graduated and has done what he was supposed to do for himself. Unfortunately, my difficult child doesn't seem to be able to work a 40hr week yet. He is doing better than last year but it's 24 hrs/wk. We tried full time but he just couldn't hold it together. He also doesn't have time for normal routine housework/maintance/planning because he has to work. Sheesh, give me a break. He has some new movie to watch or whatever is his interest. She has some skills, it's unfortunate that she doesn't use them to help herself. Our kids just can't seem to get out of the bag they are stuck in. It's nice to see you. Hope your offer works out.
