DS1 (18) has a job!! A real full time job...as of today!

I posted only last week about how hard it has been to get him motivated.. and how little there is around. However in the space of a week he has been offered two:)

One is full time for our local supermarket.. ok not exactly exciting but it's local (he doesn't drive yet) it's full time and there were loads of applicants so he was pretty lucky . The other is casual work for a local charity which provides after school care for disabled children.. only a few hours and he is hoping to fit it in with his work shifts as he has done a few hours and enjoyed it.

I am just really pleased for him, because it IS tough for those who aren't university material..and he will pay a small sum towards housekeeping which will help massively:):)

One teen down, 3 to go.......:)

Great news for your son. And also for you.

It's even tougher for young people who haven't been to university which seems to get forgotten.

Good luck with your other DCs.
