[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 714318, member: 19617"] Back again. Flight is delayed so time for a quick reply. As for the independent contractor thing. Let it go, dear Seek. It’s not your problem. If it was your job, you would consider different things. You already asked him about it. It’s not an issue for him apparently. His priority is [I]"one day at a time."[/I] Actually, this is good for him at this point. If he has later tax problems or no worker’s comp, then if there are consequences, he will learn it then. He will then have to deal with IRS or other agencies, etc. He will deal with it then or not, and learn some lessons then maybe, or maybe not. Maybe there will be no repercussions at all. Maybe it’s a lesson to learn for a bigger issue down the road. This is how they learn lessons. Granted, we love them so, and want to give and want to spare them all the hurt and pain, but we cannot and we should not. And we are not the almighty "know it alls" either. It is for them to walk their own valley. And if he learns a hard lesson later, that is a reason to give thanks. It's all good. All is well. [/QUOTE]
