[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 750246, member: 24254"] I like that a lot, reminding them they are grown now, because it is holding them accountable as the adults they are. And it is empowering as in he can do this . I will start mentioning this more to my son. He sleeps every day until 2-3 pm and stays up all night on the laptop. His part time job should be coming through soon now. He interviewed and is waiting for the call .He should have the job as he worked there before . He will buy my Dad's car as soon as he is working as his car was totalled by a friend whom he let drive the car while they were both high. I want him to go through a bank as I do not feel comfortable loaning him money after everything he put us through while he was at college. Once he is working, I will have him contribute 1/4 of the electric bill and $25 a week to groceries . I also would like him to start paying for his own phone . I like the reminders that he is here because we are helping HIM out . He is very entitled also which is my fault as I spoiled both of my kids rotten. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
