[QUOTE="crazyqueen, post: 595522, member: 16355"] I can relate to this because I, too, have a boy who just turned 21 and won't move out. He sits on World of Warcraft all day, stays up all night and I am lucky if he gets up by noon. He has no goals in life. He only recently got his GED and permit to drive. If I took the computer from him, I think he wouldn't know what to do but ball up in a corner and cry because real life would be too tough for him to handle. I don't quite know where it went wrong. His two brothers both work and are going to school. I have gotten to the point where I am filling out job applications for him because I don't trust that he is doing it on his own. He snaps at me every time I try to talk to him and it puts me in a bad mood. It is like pulling teeth trying to get him to talk to me about anything. I am tired of enabling him to sit at home all day and do nothing but put me in a bad mood. I will be giving him until the end of summer to at least have a job and some kind of outside life or he will have to get out. If he at least has a job, he will be more productive in his life than he is now. It's like he is 13 trapped in a 21 year old body and I curse EVER getting him a computer. Please let me know how it goes with your son. I am past the point of fed up. I feel like a hostage. [/QUOTE]
