Thanks Naej. I'm not down today (at least not like I was last week) just in reflective mood.

My S15 called today. He has a job (yay) however in his usual lazy style he only has this job b/c one of his best friends has got a permanent apprenticeship and so can no longer do this part time work. This friend told his employers that he could save them advertising b/c he knew someone who was interested. They said yes. So S15 has a job with people who he has never met and they have never interviewed. MMMmmmmmmm let's hope it last longer than the paper round!

It may seem strange to see me being so cynical about my own son BUT this is his MO in life and he is not learning the skills that he will eventually need to see him through to adult life. It also makes me angry that he is not prepared to put in the work himself prefering instead to let others do it for him.

Oh well. It's H he lives with now. H will have to suffer any consequences if there are any.
