[QUOTE="Beta, post: 756358, member: 22597"] Nandina--hi! Thank you for your feedback and welcome if you're new here. Your approach with your son is very wise, and if we were in a position to buy Josh a car, we would strive to do something similar, but we really can't afford to do that. We did give him a car two years ago, which broke down a year ago, and he has been without since. I'm so glad to hear how your son has improved and changed in his attitude and behaviors. That is so encouraging to hear that. And no, I don't have self-control in my temper, but I'm trying to let God change that in me. Josh definitely knows how to "push my buttons!" With someone like him, who is honestly completely destitute and without anything, including a job, it's hard to find ways to make him "earn" his keep, so to speak. I will say, though, that he does make an effort to clean up after himself and be neat, which, in the past, he was lazy about doing. He has applied for several jobs but I don't know if he'll hear back on any of them. With this Coronavirus thing, there are a lot businesses and city agencies that are rethinking their policies and hiring right now, so it's not the best time to be unemployed. [/QUOTE]
