[QUOTE="Heff, post: 623944, member: 17837"] I must admit, my statement "so the answer is..." was said very much tongue-in-cheek. Gosh, we'd be millionaires if we knew the answers. I think we all agree, we need to stop doing for them what they can do themselves. I suggested to my son last night that he collect some groceries today and cook himself a big pot of something (he used to) for his dinners. He told me he wasn't going to, he'd just eat what I made for the rest of the family. Ergh, I didn't have the heart then to suggest it would be good for him to get out and do something worthwhile, I'm sick of the arguments. I think volunteering is a wonderful idea. It places you with like minded people and you're doing something so worthwhile. I'm going to try and suggest if he wishes to stay at home, he finds some animal shelter volunteering. I have asked before, but not with conditions. Ah, Childofmine, you sound like a wonderful mum. I remember someone saying once, children chose their parents. Maybe there's some truth in that. Keep in touch please. [/QUOTE]
