[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 635333, member: 17542"] When you stop and think about it, isn't it interesting that some of our adult kids believe they have the luxury of completely living out of their own belief system, no matter how anti-self-supporting it is, while at the same time asking us and others to do the things for them they should be doing for themselves? Lucy's son is as close to an exception as I can think of---he is fairly self-sufficient because he has reduced his own personal needs to a level that he can mostly live with. Mature adults, when adopting a belief system, and then living out of that system, take on the consequences of that choice. Sometimes I wish I could just run away and leave all of this behind, with no worries and no responsibilities. But, hello, that just isn't how it works. But they think it does, and sadly, we help perpetuate that with our "assistance", until we finally stop. [/QUOTE]
