[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751675, member: 23706"] I agree with Copa except for one thing. I don't buy that every adult child is angry to be home after college. Nor do I think every new college grad who is home takes it out on family. I don't think this is age appropriate or not. Its just being a jerk, a word I hate to use. Not all or even most adult kids of 22 or so snap at loved ones if they are not happy about things I don't want to give him a pass there. i have two kids who would never do that and their friends are nice too. We have employed several as they looked for jobs in their fields. No defiance. They came on time. They worked hard. Like attracts like. I would never have mistreated my family and finances were tough after college for my family, and our house was crowded. I got a great job and made use of my degree, got married to a hardworking young man and then gave my parents money to help them, which they refused to take. We make our own heaven or hell. Kay made her life hell. Much of her hellish memories never even happened.She continues to make her life hell. It makes me very sad. Your son is being a brat, like Kay is. Another word I hate and never ever said to her. But the kids who bring us here are not nice, hardworking, sober, independent kids or we would not be here. They would not be struggling so much if they tried harder or at least quit the getting high or drunk and went for therapy. By the way, right now your son IS imposing on you. So did Kay. I wouldn't see it for a long time. I do now. At least as their parents, we are no longer alone. God bless everyone. [/QUOTE]
