[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 744036, member: 23371"] You've said that your son makes enough to pay rent of double your mortgage, pay for his habits, his girlfriend / entertainment and presumably car, taxes, etc. Does he need you to help him earn this money? Does his boss call you to talk about his job performance? You haven't said anythIng about helping him with his job. Does he make sound, rational decisions at work? Is he a competent, intelligent adult at work? If so, why do you treat him differently in his personal life? Ok, he makes some lousy decisions in his personal life. If he did that at work would you ride in to the rescue? Would you pay his boss to keep him? You can't keep treating him like a child. If he messes up he has to fix it. He's not disabled or otherwise incapable of fixing it. [/QUOTE]
