Random Poll: Your 23-year old gets a DWI...
...do you miss another day of work to go to court with him? Bear in mind, you have missed so much work already this year, like a day a week and you know your boss is fed up already.
Re: Random Poll: Your 23-year old gets a DWI...
you probably don't care about missing work at this point because clearly your boss has been letting you take advantage.
what was all the other work missed for?
this sounds all-around like a not good situation.
my photography blog
Probably not... but it would depend on if I had personal/vacay time left.
No, a 23 y/o can take care of himself. If he can't find a ride then take the bus.
As for the job, I'm a bit surprised the boss hasn't already let that person go.... unless of course it is an emergency/medical type situation that demands frequent doctor visits, etc.

i have forty yr old clients whose parents come to court with them, so i am not surprised by this.
i have never been a 23 year old with a DWI, but i have a close friend who got one. i promise you, even though her mom drove her to court, she still learned plenty.
my photography blog
23yo should call themselves a taxi if they need to - like they should have done before they got the DWI.
The parent should try to hang onto their job by showing up more often.
Yes. Just because your 23 year old kid f**ked up doesn't mean they don't deserve your support. Support=/=condoning or enabling. Maybe Mama also wants to know exactly what the judge hands down, so her kid who may be on a downward spiral can't bullshit his or her way out of the truth.

I would agree with this if mama weren't potentially screwing herself out of a job. Teaching personal responsibility begins with modeling personal responsibility.
It isn't about the ride or not wanting to support your kid or the kid learning a lesson or whatever. The ride is taken care of regardless of if the parent comes or not. It is about the possibility of losing your job because you miss a day every week or so. So basically I guess the question is would you jeopardize your job to go sit in court with your adult kid?
No, I would not jeopardize my job in this instance.

Hellzz no. That is what his lawyer is for. He doesn't need his momma, but she need her job.
Her job is in jeopardy because of her past actions, not just this one absence, right?
So Tasty, So Yummy
This.
I think she should have valued her job more as a whole... missing a day of work EVERY week means she should have lost it long ago, IMO.
That's not a full time job. That's a 4 day a week job and that's not what she was hired for, was it?
It seems realllly easy to say hell no that kid needs to learn a lesson, etc. etc. when it's not your kid. As attached as us Momma Bears can be to our kiddos I wouldn't right off the bat say no way.
Did she miss work all of that time because of the 23 year old?

Not all, but some.
