So i'm laid off,but by no means am i broke. I make as much on unemployment as i did with a 4 day work week. I still have alot in my IRA,I'm starting a new business,goin to college,being a single father, all the tings I'm supposed to do. So why is me having a job so important to my daughter?

Very simple my friend

To people holding a job = holding dignity
Her friends are possibly looking down at her

Try to see it from their prospective

She just turned 16. What I think is she doesn't see all the work I do at desperatly trying to start my business.
Would it make a diference if I gave her some information pertaining to my daily progress? wait she's 16. she wont listen anyway
I'd have her help in the production process if I was at that point.
How else can I convince her that being self-emplolyed(hopefuly,I can call myself that soon) is "dignified"
