[QUOTE="Andy, post: 406974, member: 5096"] My Diva can get down right nasty with an entitlement issue and like your son, not many outside the home know the stuff she has put us through. She is an awesome person once she leaves the front door but we don't always get to see that because she is so angry with me a lot. When she was 17, I put her through some, "You are not to ask anything of me until you can be nice for a week" tactics. Being "nice" went beyond asking nicely, it included, keep the icky language away from me, treat me with kindness, ect. I held strong and the first time took her well over a month to finally get that she better be more respectful if she wanted my help with anything. The few times that followed went well - she made it through the week quickly. Tell him that you do not allow ANYONE to treat you like he is. You don't want to be around him when he is deciding to behave like this. You are waiting for the more respectful behavior to appear before you continue making life easier for him. If he decides he can do without you then ask him for a game plan. Have him tell you or put in writing how he thinks he can support his choice of lifestyle without taking advantage of anyone. Make sure dinner is done and everything put away when he gets home. I am sure he didn't tell you when he was coming home and even so, his behavior didn't earn the respect to make sure he was present at supper time. He can make his own food tonight. [/QUOTE]
