The economy might be bad but the government has money to help get kids training. I haven't seen this since the early 80's. I think there is a big problem with kids NOT listening to their parents. Our kids don't have morals or values today. I see it in a lot of kids. Many of them don't want to even look for a job, including my son. The jobs that are hard to find are the jobs people need to pay a 1000.00 mortgage. So I know he can't make it on his own but I just want to see him try to act like an adult and do something positive with his life. Life goes by really fast and it goes by faster after 20. Kids should take advantage of the opportunity to get ahead while living at home. And I can also tell you that I have put up with far more than most parents would have, especially my parents. So since the tough love doesn't seem to be working I might just give him a time limit to get a job. I know if he gets a job he will at least have a reason to get up everyday. Life can be good but sometimes we have to work for it.
