I know how he's feeling. I've been there with a child who's had cancer. It's terrible.

[tomsk]

I moan but I'm lucky my three are fit and healthy....
they are work shy though...

[Icey]

Probably just haven't fallen into the jobs they'd really like to do. I suppose it's difficult for them these days, with so many choices to explore.

[tomsk]

THEY EXPLORE sKY TV!

[Icey]

I think you're exaggerating, but even if it's true, all they need's plenty of support and encouragement, and maybe go along with them to see what the Job Centre has in. It can be scary to think about work if they've never tried it or they've been unemployed for a bit.

[tomsk]

Thank you,

[Icey]

The type of work doesn't matter. It's just a case of applying yourself to it.

[tomsk]

if you have any inclination..

[Icey]

True enough. Maybe "boots up backsides" (hypothetically) are needed!

[tomsk]

that could be used in the past, these days you get arrested for it....

[Icey]

Note I said: *Hypothetically. I don't mean literally - but how you deal with the unwanted apathy either makes someone sit up and take notice, or .......

[tomsk]

I was similar at their ages but I did work....

[Icey]

Fine, and I'm sure that by leading by example, they'll get there in the end as well. Never give up on your kids, T, however old they are, but you can guide them along the right paths by being supportive and encouraging.

qqqquate!
John Cleese said recently ...never have children as they cost a fortune, turn your hair gray and end up on the Mothers side...
I CAN RELATE TO THAT...!!!!!
