[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 643343, member: 18366"] Well since your son is still acting like an adolescent, why not go back to treating him like one. What you are talking about here is called "failure to launch". For the life of me I will never understand parents with adult children who indulge them by allowing them to stay home all day playing video games while the parents go off to work. I would tell your son that he is now locked out of the house during your working hours. As Dr Phil says, looking for a job is a full time job. You say you feel Hypocritical, so what? What you really want is MORE from your son than you required of yourself and that is OK. You aren't doing yourself, your family or your son any favors by allowing him to continue to hide out from life at home engrossed in video games or the internet when he should be out looking for work.
