[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 631447, member: 1233"] I am glad you are not supporting him. THis is where you learn to practice being a bobblehead doll - when he spouts off this nonsense, just smile and nod and in your head work on your grocery list or whatever. Nothing that you say will change ANYTHING other than for him to think he can 'borrow' money and 'go to school' meaning in his mind he will take your $$, party, pretend he is going to school and never intend to pay you back. This WILL be the result if you actually 'loan' him the school money you have offered. Take that offer off of the table. He may or may not ever change his tune, but you don't have to stress over that. Smile, nod, and let life teach him what he needs to know. Your time being responsible for paying his way is over. With some luck, in 10 or 15 yrs you and he will be able to laugh over this as he will have learned how wrong he is right now. Some people simply cannot learn ANYTHING unless they learn it the hard way. difficult children generally tend to be this way. let your difficult child be as entitled as he can afford to be on his own dime.
