- smackeyacky 1y agoI get that, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. He won’t be much use to his disabled mother if he can’t cover the bills.
- reverius42 1y agoI wonder if he should consider taking his mother with him and moving somewhere with a better local job market. Similarly, parents move and take their kids with them when the job market demands it. There is a separate conversation to be had about whether this is a good thing -- should we allow the job market to force people to move away from their homes/families/friends/connections? -- but it's already a fact of life for a lot of people.
