[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing to celebrate if eldest DC lacks a full-time job offer and is not self-sustainable by June. I'm actually going to be deeply embarrassed and I mean that very sincerely. I'm just so fed up with the excuses and tired of being a bank to a mooch.[/quote] Damn, you're my mom circa 2001. She famously told everyone how disappointed she was in me at graduation. My friends still talk about it! I had just lined up a job but "it took too long and you put us through the wringer." Note that this was before adults could stay on parents' health plans through age 26, and my mom had been very clear that I couldn't come home, needed a job for health insurance, and that she wouldn't be helping me get started. I don't talk to my mom anymore except during her occasional health scares and to coordinate bigger family logistics. So it's totally cool to take this stance, OP, but prepare for the consequences.[/quote]
