[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 314558, member: 135"] First of all, you're not being mean. I remember telling mine that if you can't feed yourself at that age, you are entitled to go hungry and, no, I really don't care. As for how long it lasts: My older difficult child began to get some sense when he hit 21; he's 25 now and I enjoy being around him (quite a statement for those of you who remember what he was like at his height of difficult child-ness!). They younger difficult child is 22 1/2 and he still doesn't get it but at least it is wife now that has to put up with him instead of me. And I know a few people who are OLD (60+++) who never did get it. All you can do is stand firm and hope it sinks in before you get to tired to fight it anymore. [/QUOTE]
