[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 120057, member: 3626"] It is a hard one. I'm more or less in the same boat. I've told my daughter she has until the end of August. The difference between the two of us is I mean it. I'm tired of the mess, the disrespect, all of it. If she doesn't have the funds at the end of August, I'm going to have to be strong and stick with the threat. I know that if I don't, my word will be meaningless and things will continue the way they are. Honestly, I'm getting too old and tired to continue living this way. Something tells me you are, too. You've given him time to save the money. It is his choice. You've given him chances to learn, have a future. He's chosen to squander all of that. So, you're right, it is time for him to be the man I'm sure he professes to be. It's not going to be easy but how easy will it be to have him living with you when he's 25? 30? 35? Yes, even 40! Those are our choices -- give them the chance to grow and, if they don't, force them to grow on their own. My gut feeling is my little weed will do okay this go-round. She will survive. Yours probably will, too. [/QUOTE]
