Wait I see. The judge from the juvenile court that is saying it. Its not the same judge who set the bond!!!!! Thats the only way this makes sence..

The way I see this is that the judge in question has primarily the welfare of the younger child in mind. The information about all this though is very confusing, so I refrain from any further comments until someone comes up with the whole story or a link to the whole story.

Samara, You are absolutely correct, there is nothing at all wrong with hard work, and nothing wrong with wanting more from the effort. The problem, (I did not clearly define), is that so many people were oblivious as to WHY they suddenly needed to work more. Most were not wanting some special new toy, most of the applicants needed to supplement an income that "no longer" met their needs. In those cases, the p/t job was not going to be temporary. But their first thought was not to look to more education, but to accept more work. To me, this is a sign that our society is not promoting education or making readily available, as much as it is attempting to keep people in low wage jobs. The education system has attempted to meet the needs of adults, but the financial burden and the lack of cooperation in busness environments is prohibitive.


As for those who applied for the vacant p/t positions, were I work; we could not review the applicants with full time jobs because the nature of the p/t job requires the person be available to work 6 days a week any of the hours necessary to the job. There are only four of us, when fully staffed, this means we must depend on each person when someone is sick or has an emergency. It's just the nature of the job.

Unfortunately another part of the job requires stocking shelves and filling in for the warehouse position, that requires heavy lifting. Not suitable to the elderly either.

Sorry I didn't explain better.

You read my mind. I was getting ready to post this exact same question. But I was going to be more specific and say your/his kids. We each have two. Mine are 19 and 16, his are 17 and 13. My children have met only two men that I dated in the last 10 years. But I like this guy so much, that I am ready for him to meet the kids.

A full 80% of the applicants were looking for a second job - to "maintain" their current lifestyle. Rather than cutting back, being thrifty,or furthering their education, they chose to work even more. Of course that wouldn't work for us, so anyone with another job was not reviewed.

Ladies, What do prefer, A man that is a bit rough and rugged looking or a well groomed metrosexual?
