[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 113562, member: 1514"] I think it totally depends on the child and the situation. Its so easy to tell a parent what to do from behind a computer screen but it is so hard to do when you are that parent. If it was easy to just put adult kids out I wouldnt have two still living at home! They both drive me insane but for different reasons. I think Billy is slowly getting to the point where he could live alone if he could get a job that would pay enough and he could afford a car to learn to drive. Thats all that is stopping him right now. He may never be as socially aware as most people his age but thats ok. He reminds me so much of that character in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Cory, on the other hand, wants out badly. He would make it but he has so many problems right now that he has buried himself. He also doesnt want to admit it to himself but I think he is somewhat scared to leave us. He is at that point where he has figured out that he has really messed his life up. We want to put him out about 5 times a week but then we know he would just mess up more so we dont. Another 5 times a week he shows he is trying so it about balances out. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
