[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 699491, member: 16024"] I'm so sorry, RNO. Remember that the less you do for him, the quicker he will loose that sense of entitlement and the quicker he will take ownership of his life and work to make it better. The more you do for him, the more he expects that you and others are obligated to make his life work. He is a young man and still has plenty of time to turn his life around. He has to realize that it is all on him. Not all young people have a sense of entitlement, but this is a problem for your son. We all have not-so-good traits that we have to overcome. This is his. Entitlement is not necessarily about "stuff" or money. Kids of all backgrounds can feel entitlement. I agree with the others, the girlfriend is a crutch. I wouldn't let him berate you or argue with you. Stop entertaining his sense of entitlement to your finances. You paying for college is a gift that he should be thankful for, not a right. He needs to realize this. He will likely up the ante, but stay strong. Apple [/QUOTE]
