[QUOTE="Lil, post: 663790, member: 17309"] It does, doesn't it? But you know, he has flat out told me he didn't want to get a job. Actually, he screamed it at me when I calmly told him to get a job back when he still lived here. He told his grandmother he didn't want to get a job and knew lots of people who didn't work and they get along fine. Really, I think that's what this is. I think he's figured out how to not work, without it being "his fault". He can play the victim and get taken care of at the same time. I don't know if it's actually something he's thought through and made a plan of this. I agree, it's a question of when it blows up in his face. I don't know. He does have a pretty low self-esteem. Like I said, I don't know if he's really thought this thru and came up with it...or if it's just...instinctual. Jabber has always felt he was much more...conniving? Scheming? Devious? I tend to not ascribe to evil what can be explained by stupidity. Mine too. He'd ask for money, ask for smokes, ask for games, etc. He does have my Netflix password and probably HBO password (I don't care). So yeah...he'll complain about how bored he is, but not do anything about it. That sounds familiar. [/QUOTE]
