[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with PPs that your son sounds spoiled. I really hate to say this, because I know you can't change it now, but the lack of discipline growing up will always bite you in the ass in the end. And it's very commonly a problem with youngest children due to the fact that parents go easy on them. I say let him fail a little now, too. I have a friend (also the youngest) whose parents put him through undergrad AND law school. He quit his job as in-house counsel to become an "entrepreneur" (read: he does nothing all day and fiddles around trying to get small business grants). If his parents had forced him to be accountable for his life earlier, and make his own mistakes and pay his own way, he may have been more responsible and learned the value of making better choices. As it is, his parents are bankrupting themselves (they are both retired) to pay for his rent and bills now (he's in his 30s).[/quote]
