[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child had various “false starts” and seemed very under engaged in college, at what point did you pull the plug and say we’re done for now, time to work and revisit later? Thanks. [/quote]

I'll make sure kid has mental health support and there is no ADHD or anxiety etc making it difficult for him.

I'll also make sure that he is getting  proper academic support from college and is enrolled in major suitable to his strengths.

I'll also encourage mire socialization, joining extracurriculars, finding mentors, attending office hours and [b]finding a steady girlfriend to get him involved in college life.[/b][/quote]

So, you are ready to offload him on some unsuspecting woman?  Young women are not dating to be someone's "support".[/quote]

What exactly is wrong with finding a suitable woman for him to marry?  This is completely normal in our culture where we come from.[/quote]
1. Your intention for finding him a "suitable" woman to marry is not about finding a life partner, but getting the woman to straighten him up
2. Your DS is immature. The last thing he needs is to get married.

Stop coddling your son and expecting a wife to be his mother and take care of him.
