[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650625, member: 1550"] Jabs, haha, I've been on this board for so long I just knew in advance it was going to be a wash. I've never heard of this working. If they still need us to support them, they haven't gotten it together yet and the mentality isn't there. When they start moving in "friends"...well, they all seem to do that and it just causes more trouble. At least your son hasn't trashed the apartment. That's Part Three (or getting thrown out for wild and crazy parties). I mean, I get it. People hope they'll give their kids a hand up and they'll be grateful for the chance and take advantage of it, but again I don't recall anytime it has ever worked. This scenario plus the trashing the place is the most common. They either don't see the future, don't do anything about the future, or think that when it comes right down to it, you'll still pay for them. But I think it's more in the middle. They think "I'll worry about it when I have to" and toke on. Or shoot up on. Or whatever they are doing that is contributing to the puzzling lack of motivation.We rarely know how much garbage our kids ae putting into their bodies. In a way, it doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
