[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 185503, member: 84"] MB I had to count to 200 to keep from throwing my pepsi into his face. I was that mad. Mom and I did some discussing on the issue tonight. One of her valid worries is her age (71), and that my hometown has become a rather violent place to live. Which I wouldn't know because I haven't stepped foot in it in a good 10 yrs. And she wants to make sure that he would really have more opportunity there than he does here. Doesn't want him jumping from the pan straight into the fire. Nor do I. We're just trying to come up with some solution to force the next step into adulthood. Gently forced is preferred, which is why I thought of her. But silly me keeps forgetting that as I age, so does she. (weird huh?) So she's going to do some checking. And we have to see if after all the ruckus over getting hours, he can get time off without losing his job to go back and visit. Heck, just a visit might do him a world of good. Give him a break from the family and such. Cuz I'm sure living at home isn't all that great for him either, truth be told. Only help I can find him for independent living around here is in the larger cities, which is no help because he would be so far away from us. We do have one in town, but to be honest I wouldn't let my worst enemy live there. So that's out. And he needs stable hours and pay to be able to even get low income apartment and go that route. sigh And while store manager is giving him hours, she's still working hard to get him to quit. If it weren't for me telling him he'd darn well better not, he'd have already done it. I dunno. Somehow we have to come up with something. Maybe Mom and I putting our heads together will be enough to find a solution. [/QUOTE]
