[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 118987, member: 1550"] ICAM! This is an adult male acting like my kids acted at twelve. My kids all worked by sixteen, even my daughter who took drugs. It wasn't an option not to work. As for after they graduated, well, it was not an option to "hang out" with friends at that age. By nineteen even my drug abusing daughter had gotten her act together enough to walk to a job and work full time and this was after we made her leave our house. I personally am not sure he's doing well. He could be using drugs again. I don't know. Agree with Meow. It wouldn't be an option in my house that he did nothing, future surgery or not. in my opinion a big problem with him is being coddled and supported and not made to accept any responsibility and he's exploiting it. He has a lot of nerve to refuse calling home. In my house, they called me or they moved into their own place. That way I didn't know that they weren't home and I didn't worry about them. If they lived with me they had to let me know they'd be out so that I didn't knock on their door at 8am and find an empty bed. They owed me that much respect. Don't lose that spine. This particular young adult will sooooooo take advantage of it. In fact, in my opinion, he already is. He hasn't really gotten more responsible. At least he can call. It won't break his hand.
