[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 72664, member: 1545"] You and your husband should only do for things for your son that you can do happily. You should not be operating out of guilt or his manipulations. Your son, though still your son is a GROWN MAN. He is an ADULT. As long as you and your husband continue to do for him, he will NEVER do for himself. Obviously he has not learned respect for you and your home. If my son wanted to stay in my house and 'smoke pot because it's almost his birthday' I would politely show him the door. I might add my foot on the way out that door. His teeth are HIS problem. If he needs Medicaid (and I doubt he would qualify) let him pursue it. If he is resourceful enough to find drugs/drug money ...then he's resourceful enough to figure the essentials out for himself. Let me add that I am all for helping our kids out. I still support my almost 22 year old son who is a full time student. I still help out my 19 year old daughter with diapers and a few groceries now and then. Helping our kids is OK when they are making every effort to help themselves. [/QUOTE]
