[QUOTE="possumholler, post: 450679, member: 12300"] UPDATE--he has been gone for over a month now. I did "the right thing" and got him starter things like food basics, laundry detergent, gave him my most ancient towels, etc. and so far has been doing fairly well. He has finally asked for more hours at work, they gave him just enough to fall 2 hours below full time status (welcome to the REAL world!). His contribution to the living arrangements is the electric bill, since he doesn't really have an actual room--it is a loft. I HAD to laugh when I asked him if he went around turning the lights off that his roommates had left on. He replied with and emphatic "YES!" He pretty much stays at his apartment "to save money"--chuckle again....I knew he was going to run out of money last paycheck, so I offered him a few jobs around the house so he could earn money. I also paid him to chauffer my mother to a hair appointment (not an easy task). So hopefully sometime he will realize that he needs to go back to school, but until then, I am enjoying the fact that so far he is making it out in the world. Something that my husband never had to do... [/QUOTE]
