*SIGH* My son got laid off yesterday from TDS, a local cable/internet company. He sort of saw it coming, but it still hurts and sets him back as far as finishing college on time, etc.

Anyhow, my husband is an IT Guru and has his own business which is doing well because while people aren’t buying new systems, they’re VERY interested in making the most of what they already own...and he makes better money on service versus sales. Sonny can work for Dad for a while to tide him over.

Am I a Bad Mom for hoping he doesn’t want to move back home? I really love my Sewing Room which was his old bedroom, LOL!

Sorry to hear about your son....seems as though everyone knows someone (or many!) who have been laid off.

And yet all we hear is how the economy is improving.
