[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 738223, member: 19522"] Chiming in here. My 17 year old does his own laundry. Sometimes he adds mine of he has a small load. I want him to know how to do it. He cooks, rakes, takes out the garbage and helps clean the house. He will be a senior this year and needs to know how to take care of himself. When my two were in and out the revolving door, it was hard to get them to do anything. Time was spent watching tv, or on the computer while we were working. It was super frustrating. So yes, they were not appreciative of the "help" and felt entitled. I would suggest your son contribute to household expenses, as well as doing his own laundry, and eating the meals you cook. I would not make him too comfortable. I agree with Apple that our difficult kids feel entitled. It is a hard place to be questioning yourself and everything you are doing. I hope you are feeling better! (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
