Ha! PP here and this is a rare occasion where I find a snarky DCUM funny and clever. Have a good day.

Except he doesn't own his own shit. That's the problem. He LOVES for me to solve his problems while complaining that it's not that deep.

You keep telling yourself that to justify your nagging.

Just stop.

If this is you, OP, your son is 17. He needs to start to learn how to own his shit, because he's going to have to own it when he's at college. The best way is to stop solving his problems. Next time he doesn't do what is required, tell him to get off his ass and get it done. It's not that deep.
