Dear Queenie,
My daughter has a good education and a certificate for a good profession, but she does not have a job, so my wife and I have been helping her pay her rent and other bills, but when we ask her about looking for a job she always has some excuse. She also feels bad because she doesn’t have very many friends.
Queenie, how can we get her to stop making excuses and find a job?—Worried father
Dear Father,
As long as you go on “helping her pay her rent and other bills” your daughter has no motivation to look for a job. Stop helping her out so much. And remind her that the workplace is a good place to meet new people and hopefully make new friends.
