Ok I'm looking for reassurance.
DS2 has just left school at 16. Applied for apprentiships but got nowhere. His gcse grades were not great. It got to September and he still wasn't sorted so I said he had to go to college. He agreed. His useless selfish bastard of a father then totally put him off and talked him out of it as it meant he would need to carry on paying maintenance so instead he applied for him a job at McDonald's. he had his interview which went well and now has a trial which sounds promising. Ex has already decided that if he gets the job he will stop maintenance with immediate effect.
So now it looks like DS may end up working full time at McDonald's. I'm so pissed off as he could have done more.
However looking on the bright side I suppose he will gain work experience, retail experience, catering experience and a job reference as well as money in his pocket (to be fair the pay is pretty decent for a 16 year old).
AIBU to kid myself that a start at McDonald's could potential lead to better things in his future or is he doomed to a life of minimum wage?
