I used to get annoyed with getting up at 3:00 AM, 4:00 and our son would be up all night streaming with his friends.
"I don't get care if you get a night job, but get a job."
Then he finally got the PT job at Starbucks. Now when he's up this EARLY, he's getting ready for work like this morning.
I was about to tell him again that I was proud of him when he said, "Have you seen my keys?"
So, already fully dressed in athleisure wear and slippers, without my phone and wallet I drove him to work.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Just my opinion, but I don’t think you should conflate a human foilble with gumption and persistence.
"Thanks for driving me to work," he said.
"As a kid I used to drive my dad to work for 6 months after his DUI. This is what family does, we help each other get to work."
He's never been poor to understand this. He's never had a car break down. He's never had to pay for a car repair. When you're poor, you'll host a gofundme to get back on the road and people (like me) respond to that.
