[quote=Anonymous]Do you know how many ER nurses I've met who have diverted drugs?  It's the easiest place to do it.  In all the hospitals I've worked at, we only get drug tested upon hire or if someone thinks you're high at work.   I've unfortunately known quite a few nurses with various addictions.

Your kid needs some help with a budget.  Not that uncommon that someone starting out and that came from money doesn't know how to budget well.  I know I didn't.  Sit them down and go through their fixed monthly expenses like rent, utilities, food/necessities from the grocery store, phone bill, Internet etc.  Then go into the category of high wants but not needs: going out budget, take out, gym.  Then go into the budget of low wants.    From there, see how his monthly income fits into it.  Is he saving enough?  Does he need to adjust his budget for the wants?

You're making your ex out to be a villain for not buying him a new car.  And yet you have money so what does that make you for not buying him a new car?

The great thing about being a nurse is you can pick up shifts to cover expenses.  I'm flying out first class to see my friend in France and my entire flight was covered by 1.5 shifts.  I cover all DS' Christmas gifts by picking up an 8 hr shift.  So if your son truly cannot afford food, he should be picking up 1-2 shifts a week, every week.  [/quote]
