[QUOTE="hopeandjoy66, post: 633589, member: 18181"] Hey Lil, you are sounding like a parent that is just about had enough or perhaps has. If these responses of yours are not your usual, then I would say this is definitely a step forward in this battle. Sometimes I think kid/adults use the "feeling card" and I think you trumped it. It isn't about whether we will like this job or not. My son who went to University and earned his degree is working at a Toyota Factory and really doesn't, lets say, love it. However in the end he knows he has a daughter and fiance counting on him. So he just has to suck it up for now. You have given your son a deadline and he should be sweating about that and realize he is best to suck it up or else he will not have a place to live. Does he know how much work it will be if he has to leave your house and find a place, a job, make his own meals ect..... Boy, I would be cleaning toilets at the bus station so I didn't have to face this scenario. Good for you Lil. [/QUOTE]
