[QUOTE="Lil, post: 659217, member: 17309"] True. It was little things when he was younger. Not doing chores even though he knew he'd get in trouble for it. Being late even though he knew he'd get grounded for it. Not doing homework, or doing homework, but not turning it in! -That one was a struggle from grade school clear through graduation! He got two D-'s on his last grade card in high school for not doing the class work. One he got enough caught up to raise from an F to a D-, the other the teacher just gave him the D- because he had A's and high B's on every test - so he clearly knew the subject - but he'd not turned in any homework! Even the car...he'd been told, "get a job and pay the insurance and we'll give you the car when you turn 18" - wouldn't get a job...for a FREE CAR! I mean, come-on! (by the way - It's time we sold the car Jabber - I'm ready. Except then what'll we do when we need to tow something?) I had to drag him shopping for school clothes. I had to drag him shopping for college dorm room supplies. I had to drag him ... everywhere ... to prepare for life. Really, he's pretty much never shown any interest in becoming an independent person. He's just gotten too heavy to drag anymore. [/QUOTE]
