Proud
It would be enough that he got a job after only one week of applying; that would have made me proud.
But I'm even more proud than just that.
The job he has taken is:
a) manual work (not hard manual labour, but manual labour all the same)
b) not normal hours
c) is nothing like the kind of job he really wants to have.
d) has no prospect of getting him into the field in which he really wants to work.
But he still is going to take the job.
That really has my respect, that really surprised me, and that is was makes me so especially proud of my son.
Parenting
Someone was talking about a parenting issue recently. It occurred to me that one of their issues is that the two parents do not have a united front. They don't seem to discuss/confer on some things. Their relationship is 'interesting', so the lack of a united front isn't something I feel I can raise with them.
Makes me oh so much appreciative of the relationship I have with my ex, and how that facilitates our parenting.

I totally think that pride is not a sin unless it makes someone think they are better than other people. In other words, self-centered pride. Yours is not that kind.
be proud of your young man :) he has taken another major step on the road to adulthood.
job well done...all of you.
