[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 653247, member: 18238"] Enough is enough when you say so. He is a grown man. Tell him you are his mother not his caretaker. Remind him that he is a grown man, sort it out. We are going through something similar with our son although he isn't as old. The simple fact of the matter is that your son, like ours, wants you to take care of him. He wants the perks of adulthood without the responsibilities and he wont face them until you force him to. Read some other peoples posts about homeless children. They WILL find a way to survive so there realistically isn't that much to worry about. Granted, this is all easier said than done! Lil and I are still having issues with our son who is about to turn 20 and still not starting his adult life but we're working on it. Good luck and welcome! [/QUOTE]
