Shirley W, you're right. I called his boss for him..and perhaps this is all my fault. Perhaps
I've done too much for him. I don't know. I just don't want this opportunity to go for him.
Gayle, he has talked to his uncle. I do think he wants to go but doesn't want to
disappoint his boss. With three sons, is that how you would handle this?
He'll be a 40-year-old petrol station worker living with me!

I have a son who will be 20 in May. He's, by all accounts, what you would consider the
"perfect child." Has never given me any grief or hassle, even as a baby, and I have
never had to punish him or ground him....downside is that, although he's very bright,
especially with computers, he's terribly unmotivated. He has a job at a petrol station almost
full time, in which he's never called off or been late. His boss told me he's the best worker he's ever
had. Of course, at 8 bucks and hour, it's not a great payer. He also works part time at a science
museum doing demonstrations for kid's birthday parties on weekends. I wish he would go to college,
but I can't force it.
My problem is I have an uncle who owns a steam train business. My son has been fascinated by
trains all his life. My uncle has offered him a unique opportunity to fly to Texas and help out with a
big project. He will pay him, pay for the hotel and airfare. It starts next Monday. I called his boss yesterday
to give him a head's up and explained to him the opportunity and that he's going. I booked the ticket today.
When I called my son to tell him I had booked the ticket, he told me that his boss won't let him have the
time off and he can't go. I tried to tell him that he can certainly go but he's standing his ground saying
he can't go (not that he doesn't want to.) He's afraid of upsetting his boss. My son has always been super
sensitive and afraid to speak up or hurt other people's feelings.
I am pulling my hair out. I booked the ticket (fully refundable) but I don't know what to do to convince
him that this is a great opportunity. My uncle is getting up there in years and has no children to help
out with the business and this could be a great opportunity. I just can't see my son selling lottery
tickets and making coffee for the rest of his life and ending up just like his boss.....older and miserable.
How would you parents handle this??? Help!

JW boyfriend, the sequel
by SEL inalmost a year ago i made a few posts here about how much effort i ought to put into getting a man i loved considerably out of the wt.
by that point i had already put in a lot of effort and accumulated a nice collection of books on the wt, on cults, on bible chronology.
then i finally gave up and decided to leave.. we kept in pretty regular touch until last fall, when i moved a neat twelve time zones away.

Incredible...sounds like he's keeping his options open. What a mess. You're lucky
you're 12 time zones away...you dodged a bullet on that one.
