Would you ask your son to leave home?

Hope the job works out. But I foresee more battles ahead when you ask "keep" money from him.

Compared with a lot of you, I think you'd say I was spoiled - my parents paid for school costs, gave me an allowance, paid for extra things such as sailing and family holidays, and special occasions.

But in other ways I had a very strict childhood - until I left school at 18, I'd never been to a pub / club / other social type thing on a school night. Never. And neither did any of my siblings. The only things I ever did after school were activities such as swimming / chess / music / visiting a friend's house (back by 9pm on a school night).

And my parents (particularly my Dad) would have had 10 types of fit at the idea of me staying with a boyfriend, ever, or a boyfriend staying with us....

My partner and I had been together 7 years before we were allowed to share a bed in my parents' hosue - before that, he shared my brother's room. And the joint-bedroom thing only happened when I was 26, and pregnant! None of my other siblings (two younger sisters, one younger brother) have ever had a boyfriend / girlfriend to stay under my parents' roof.

Victory, I really have my fingers crossed for you and your son with his job trial! Please let us know how it goes.

Oh I will keep looking at the time we shall know soon if he has the job, I keep hoping he just accepts the shifts that he has been given rather than say 'oh no can't work this weekend or this night because I have a party to go to' surely not?:rotfl::rotfl:

No, if there is one thing is following a thread and not knowing the outcome so frustrating, I always let you know;)
