[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 619175, member: 17542"] I am a big believer in work. A job. Somewhere you have to be at a certain time and stay there until a certain time. You have to be nice even if you don't feel nice. You have to do things you don't want to do. Then, you have to go back the next day and do it again. This structure and self discipline are good for all of us. It is the stuff of adulthood. One of the common themes here is that our 20-somethings don't work. We make it possible for them not to work and by doing that we take away their self respect and their dignity. We cripple, isolate and infantilize them. They revert back to the crib, I.e., lying on the couch all day. Almost everyone can do something. Let us work to make it possible for them to work. Let us get out of their way and stop the flow of money. [/QUOTE]
