[quote=Anonymous]This is one reason there needs to be a forum for “Parenting” ages 18-25. There still so much support that many families offer at that age. Unfortunately, at that age, you can only dangle a big carrot. 1) you are not paying tuition if he is not doing the work. 2) you may need to make his room very boring by cutting off Wifi/changing the password. A friend’s DD is 20 and can only use the wired computer in the living room now. Her alternative is to get a job and pay for her own service. Seems harsh, but before that, they once didn’t see her for 6 weeks because she stocked her room with a microwave, bottled juice or soda, and things like Mac n cheese cups. In the end, they had to call the police to do a welfare check because she wasn’t answering and the smell of rotting garbage was overwhelming. The police spoke with the DD through the door, told the parents to cut off the Wifi, and left.[/quote]
