[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 688695, member: 1550"] Hmmmm. This is JMO and hardly definitive. Also, I am dealing with my own 20 year old who is mature and responsible and that may make me a little less tolerant than if I still had d c. Plus I do like your son. So take my response with a grain of salt. To me, if you are 20, unemployed, playing videogames, asking for favors, into unmotivating weed and not interested in bettering himself...that alone is doing something wrong. It's not illegal, but it's in my opinion wrong. He is too old to be so lacking in ambition and so dependent. This would not happen tiny house nor would continuing to pay rent. As sweet as your son sounds, his total lack of ambition would scare me. I understand jabber. I think your son has so much charm, but his behavior would drive me crazy too. I do feel that our adult kids tend to stagnate emotionally while living with parents. Most adult kids don't want to live with dad and mom. I do think that it's too bad that J is your sons only option for a roommate. My daughter is going to have two reliable roommates and that matters. She's in school so she only works part time...living alone would be impossible for her too. She'd have to stay in her dorm. So I do see the problem with having to trust J. Do you really think J will stick it out? This IS a problem. [/QUOTE]
