I’m from an ex-communist country, where people still struggle. I was 13 when i get my first 3 shift job at a commercial printer company. At first parents obviously we’re opposing me working in the night, but I was a kid whom didn’t take “no” for an answer and I told them even if both my hands and legs were broken I would go. So they had no choice, but to allow me to go nightshifts together with my cousins, when my uncle had his nightshifts. I had several hideous jobs throughout the years after that: from door to door research/ marketing, through making Wunder-Baum trees, all the way to waitressing. Many times I had 2-3 small jobs at the same time…I liked being self-sufficient and doing so helping my parents. I put myself through college: working a 8-16 job than going to my seminars from 16-22 and on the weekends for 3,5 years. I paid my own driving lessons and I helped paying the bills and food at home. After college I got fired from my work I was working for 4 years, because they should have raised my salary after getting my degree and they choose to part instead (classy…). I cried all the way home that day, I was feeling ashamed and a failure…I was living at home, struggling to find a new job and my parents would literally beg me to take their money and go take a coffee with my friends. For me that was a horrible feeling!
I found a job abroad after 2 months and until this day I’m helping my parents, my older brother and his family whenever and however I can, because their happiness is above everything for me. They fight me because of it, they don’t want to accept… but when it comes to them I won’t take a “no” for an answer.
Also as I mentioned before I barely can recall having only one job at the time: even now I’m working nightshift in healthcare and daytime in the finance department of the municipality I’m living in… (I know random pairing, but i don’t like keeping all my eggs in the same basket
).
All that ranting, jut to conclude: the Radford kids are LAZY, SPOILED and WORTHLESS bunch of people… I hate all forms of lazy, spoiled and worthless people… sorry but not sorry. I have a hereditary disease which beside other things comes with chronic pain and fatigue 24/7, my mother worked 20 more years after her spine was broken and learnt to walk again… other people born without legs and arms work…people had dozens of kids in the past while working the fields, taking care of animals and providing for their family They chose to have… and all those kids were better behaved than the Radford!
so wtf is your excuse Radford family? No discipline! No work ethic! No motivation! Just some fully grown kids who take the space and air from the smaller children!
I would say get a grip on it Sue and Noel… but its already 30+ years too late for that!!!!
