Growing Pains

Listen to the item

How have you coped/are coping with your grown up children as they make their way in this cruel, cruel world?

We've experienced pain and frustrated rage watching our two sons and one of our daughters – the other has only just left university – struggle to find work that they find fulfilling and for which they are adequately rewarded.

Sheila and I have seen them exposed to danger, threatened and illegally underpaid and experienced their disappointment and frustration when they’ve failed to get interviews or even an acknowledgment when they’ve applied for other jobs. 

Other parents must feel the same frustration and resentment and it’s something I’d like to discuss on Home Truths.
