[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 25 year old daughter has not worked for the past year. I have no idea what she does with her days. She does have a great husband who supports her and they seem to be extremely happy and have a great relationship. When I ask her what her future plans are she says that she doesn't know. She says she is looking for a job and may go back to school, but she can't decide what she wants to do. When I ask her why it is taking her so long to find a job, she says it's because she does not want to work weekends or nights and there aren't many jobs that allow that without an education. I told her she should take any job she is offered, and she says she spends the weekends and evenings with her DH and doesn't want to take a job she hates. Now her husband adores her and I know he has life insurance, but I still worry about her. She had some learning disabilities growing up, but she overcame so much and graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA while taking AP classes. I know school is hard for her, but I also know she can do it and that she is very smart. What can I do or say to her to get her to do something with her life? [b]At the very least she could become a stay at home mom and give me grand children[/b], but she says they are never going to have kids and love being child free. My other kids are so driven and very successful, but she just seems to have no ambition.....[/quote]

you are a nightmare and i'm so glad not my mom or mil![/quote]

Why am I a nightmare? I just want her to have some purpose in her life. It can be kids or a career, but I think she should do something! [/quote]

You mentioned learning disabilities.  Some kids are just not cut out for college or a job.  If my Aspie kid ever gets married, I would be thrilled.  But I'm assuming he will not so we're pushing through college to make sure he can self-support, but it's not easy.  Some LD kids just can't do college.  count your blessings mom![/quote]
