"We can't give up hope, because it is all we have got"
the cuter half told me that we have worked so hard so the boy can get a job at mcdonalds.
My God this is what we have come to?
A job at mcdonalds.
We have worked with the boy this long, this hard and we get a job at mcdonalds. I WON"T EAT THE FOOD THERE.....but this is the goal that we have.
WTF.
I know, I am in one of my funky moods. We have had a lot going on with just me physically and then we throw in a 3 year re-eval (torture in a smaller way), several things we HAVE to do.... a possible weekend thing for the cuter one and i and now we are having a job goal of Mcdonalds.
Talk about the proverbial kick in the damn teeth.
I feel like I have wasted time, energy and effort. It all seems so futile.
I am tired, frustrated and annoyed.
THe boy fights us at every turn; over the stupidist stuff....hygiene, classes late homework. Boys are such drama kings....Give me a break.
I thought girls were the dramatic ones....Not at this house...the boy is little Mr. Drama......"I don't do that well so I don't bother." He pulled that on his LA teacher today....fortunately the teacher didn't fall for it.
Neither do we.....
McDonalds? I don't think so.....

you go Mom! There is no reason to "settle" for a McJob when he is capable of so much more. From all of your descriptions, it sounds like he could be a candidate for some sort of culinary degree if he can find a lower-stress environment in which to use it! And if he chooses a service-type job, I would definitely recommend something like grocery where the benefits are better (many departments are unionized). Having worked plenty of food-service jobs in my day, I would highly recommend against the fast food industry.
