He's Learning Life Lessons & They're Making Him Tired

Sometimes it's hard watching your 'children' learn hard life lessons because as a parent we want to protect and defend. Now I know this is a minor lesson and no hurt is really involved just tiredness. The youngest works the night shift at his employment. He got home at 6:30 this morning and the next two nights were to be his nights off. Thankfully he came home and took a nap (he hardly ever does this) and then after eating supper he went in and slept a couple of hours. Suddenly his cell phone rings and it's his boss needing him to come in tonight. The guy covering tonight has called in..supposedly his girlfriend is having their baby tonight...supposedly the Dr. is inducing labor. Now a couple of weeks ago this same situation took place but he claims now it was a false alarm. So he's been called in again on his night off. The thing that gets him is they don't even try to find someone to come in besides him. He was trying to find every excuse he could NOT to go in...and yes, I want to help him. Because he's my baby boy and it's just not right! But he needs to be mature and suck it up...hard to explain to a 20 year old 'boy'. If he only knew this will be the least of his work worries...especially now with everyone looking for work there's many that would like to have his problems. Now I think I'll go and be pissed off with my son....
