[QUOTE="Lil, post: 676570, member: 17309"] I know I haven't been on here much, but that's because things have been pretty good and I'm still playing catch-up from vacation. Our son and his girlfriend have been doing okay, paying their own way for the most part. I have bought some groceries and such and some bus passes. Sadly, SHE is still without a job and there's only so much his part-time (20 to 30 hours a week) can do. Today I did run some $$ to him, just a little, so he can buy lunch the next few days. He gets paid Monday. I asked him if there was anything I could do to help with girlfriend with the job search. He said, "I told her she should call the places where she has applications in and she just says, 'It won't do any good. If they want me they'll call me.' I keep telling her, 'No, they want people who want to work and how you show them you want to work is by calling them!'" Oh. My. God. That is EXACTLY what we told him a THOUSAND TIMES! Apparently she isn't listening to him any better than he listened to us. Which stinks, because that attitude will get them evicted. She HAS to find work. But, this was too good not to share. [/QUOTE]
