[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704594, member: 1550"] GN, thsnks. you are right. My daughter catered and worked 10 hour days,six days a week. If you want to make more than minimum wage at a restaurant, that's what chefs do. My daughter won a few awards for her cooking. Not everyone has the knack for making extra delicious food either. It's a gift and an art. And the course is not easy. Our difficult and unmotivated adult kids do not usually succeed even in the easiest college classes. Been on the board fifteen years or so...seen many stories and lived my own. These are not sad little boys who need hugs. These are grown men who turn their noses up at extensive help we give and ask for more help and never think it's enough. They don't want a hand up. They want us to support them financially forever. They are in victim mode and refuse to admit that they make choices that cause their own sorrow. A lot of people are lonely. Grown ups don't crash on moms couch, rejecting the house that mom paid for. Adults deal with it. Of course mature adults buy their own houses too and they work hard to do it. You have to wonder how these adults will survive when we are gone. One thing for sure...if the adults refuse to work, most will be in and out of homeless shelters. I [/QUOTE]
