[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 278432, member: 3388"] difficult child 1 is graduating from high school in a few weeks. I'm thrilled that he made it this far! However, he is being a total PITA and expects all the good things in life to be handed to him on a silver platter. He believes he is fully independent but, in reality, is still totally dependent on us. He won't get off his arse to do one thing to help himself unless he is forced to do so by husband. husband and I are doing everything in our power to get him to grow up. As long is difficult child 1 is under our roof, he is expected to "work" for his room and board. We have lots of clerical work that needs to be done in the office. difficult child 1 has three full days of school left, two half days (finals), and two rehearsals for his upcoming graduation. He is not allowed to come home and play video games. He has to walk to the office (never got his driver's license but expects us to buy him a car) after school and work. He is expected to work a full day. husband will drive him home in time for dinner. We have plans in place for him and have actively been trying to find him a studio near the junior college he'll be attending in September. (He gave up on going to the expensive technical university I wrote about earlier in the year - A LONG story...) However, difficult child 1, as much as he says he hates living in our house, doesn't do what is necessary to move out - Refuses to look for summer employment (the college has student jobs on campus), has an excuse for everything, and of course, NOTHING is ever his fault!!! I could go on and on and on... but will stop for now. I guess I should just be happy he is graduating. I just HATE him living in our house!!! It's absolute HE77!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
