Sorry about your job. Hope the new one is better.

We built an apartment in our basement for our middle daughter. When she moved out, the younger daughter got married. They lived in the apartment for 5 years and had a son during that time. We did not charge them any rent or anything. They saved enough to build a house. Right behind us!!! (family land)

I made it a point never to interfere in my kids' lives after they grew up and finished college. They are adults, so I treat them that way. I wish that they would do the same for me! How did they get so old, anyway? I am younger than they are.

As I was reading your post, it sounded like a disaster in the making. LOL! I'm glad everything is working out (due to your treating them like adults).

This job will pay somewhere between 20-25,000 per year, if I get it. It's a start. The most money I've ever made is 170 dollars per week!

Your nice to your kids. I'm an only-child. I'll be the "Little Baby" for the rest of my life to my grandparents, no matter what. And my Mom can't stay out of my business, although I have nothing to hide, really. She's obsessed with me finding a girl. She sets me up with horrible mismatches, then monitors and watches over everything I say to them. Then acts disappointed when it doesn't work out.
