[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m amazed that so many posters are acting like a 19 year old “adult” is the same as a 30-40 something adult. Like they turn 18 and instantly know what to do and how to act and everything is proper and perfect.

Wtf planet are you people from? I was a disaster at 19. I probably wouldn’t have done what OP described but in lots of other ways I was figuring out how to be an adult, making mistakes left and right.  And whether he was 6, 19, or 59 you need to communicate expectations or STFU.[/quote]

Most people don't behave like a wild animal at 19. They're adults living away from home at college, they aren't 6 years old. I have a 4 year old who wouldn't pick through and take the nicest things for himself if someone offered to give him a couple, he would "leave some nice ones for them too". Because that's the way we raise our kids.

If you were raised by wolves, and you were a "disaster", then that's what you were. Don't normalize it. Most of us, even those who weren't parented all that well due to various issues, would not behave the way OP is describing.[/quote]

I don’t the poster is normalizing it.  She is suggesting that OP communicate, maybe even that OP and the posters have  a little compassion.[/quote]
