Dad Unemployed
My dad recently quit his job. He didn't like the managment or something. It's been like 7 months or so and I'm worried that he won't be able to find one and we will run out of money soon. I'm also worried because my dad doesn't do anything all day while im at school. I used to come home everyday and find him sitting there wastching the TV. Thankfully he's starting to get out more and do things. Is there any way I can help him find the job he is looking for?

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
sometimes all you can do is leave it up to the parents. maybe you should look in the newspapre and highlight the things he like to do. then show he the jobs you find. if he tells you he will find a job by himself then thats when you let him find one

Well encourage that would be helpful, tell him that you love him alot which you probably do anyway. When my parents are in a financial situation I get freaked and think that we are going to have to live on the streets,but my mom always says that its not my place to worry about that kind of thing but its hard not to,right.
Keep having confidence in yourself,in your famil, and especially your dad. Don't give up on him!!!

Find out what job he would enjoy having, that get the two of you together and do some research on it! Check out newspapers and the web! If he doesn't want to, go through the classified ads in your newspaper and highlight all possible jobs he might want. See if it gets the message across.

Find out what kind of job he would like to do if that's possible? There is a website you can go to and put the information in as to where yall live, how far he is willing to travel to work and what kind of job he would like. www.careerbuilder.com good luck!

He is probably depressed if he isn't doing much during the day. Being unemployed is depressing, and maybe the job he had was stressful and made him depressed to start with. Since you said he's starting to do more, he is probably getting over it. I know you are worried, but I would be patient just a little longer.
I don't know how old you are, but no matter how much you want to help, there is probably not a lot you can do to help him get a job.

If your mom is there too i really think you should try and talk to her and let her know all your worries. You are worrying because you really dont know whats going on and it doesnt seem like a stable situation for you. Talk to her and then maybe your dad. let him know you are worried and are confused. Ask questions. After they are answered don"t read any deeper into them. Im sure they will take care of you. Its just a difficult time for all right now. Good luck.

For an adult, being out of work is very difficult. Your dad is probably feeling inadequate and depressed, like he's not good enough. Being unemployed is a big blow to the ego for many people. The best thing you can do is give him moral support and tell him you don't think he's inadequate...make him feel appreciated and motivated, and that he's not a failure. It wasn't a good idea to quit the only job he had just because of personal issues because no matter how stupid someone is, if they're the management, they're the ones signing the paychecks. However, you still need to eat and pay bills. So give him moral support and help him feel good enough to go look for a job, because Looking for a job IS a job.

It doesn't seem like your dad is having any worries about money if he is staying at home and watching TV all day. So I'm not sure if it is a large issue; however, if you are concerned about being unemployed then you may want to consider talking to him about it. Bring up the subject like "HAve you found a job yet?" Look in the newspaper for jobs for him and he may follow along.
