Hello...my son is at college after quitting Alevels...he appears happy with the course thank goodness.
Also found a little job locally in an Indian restaurant ...all was good...did three shifts..then out the blue whilst I was at work yesterday I get a text to say working at the restaurant is S@@@....not going....in!! He said friends told him not a nice place to work....one lad left after a week! Ok I'm a single parent so obviously finances are tight as I've never had any support from his Dad...so this little job was a big bonus and helpful...3 hours ...four eves....£6ph.
There is a gf...who is very controlling and has just started on his college course as well ...he can.t be out her sight!...she is down at the house a lot...I feel she had something to do with my son not going into work, He said he phoned to say he wasn't going in and will go in tonight..I have my doubts..and anyway...I'm sure they will show him the door...I'm just disappointed...feels like my son will end up a drop out...
am I being too harsh? Have older 2 children in late 20's...they were never afraid of work in their teens.....also a 15y old who would love a job!
Been awake all night worrying about my son...went out with gf....said he wants to live at his Dads..but there is no room!
Sorry its an essay....need some wise words!
