[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He probably does have some mental issues going on, at least failure to fly. He could be angry or depressed he has no job, no girlfriend. I lived at home for a year when I was 28.  It took me a year to find a job. [b]It didn't help that my mother was telling me to be a waitress when I had just gotten my Master's degree[/b]. Finally I got a real job.  Be supportive and believe in him. He should be actively looking for jobs. He should be doing his own laundry and helping out with the dishes or yard work. He needs his own car for independence (even if it's your car).  He can cook his own breakfast and lunch but should join you for the family dinner.  Career counseling might help him too.  I wouldn't take his rudeness personally just yet. He probably feels bad about himself and is taking it out on you. He knows you're disappointed in him.[/quote]

Your mom surely didn’t mean be a waitress forever. She likely knew you needed some paying work. Having a grad degree doesn’t mean you are too good to wait tables until you secure a job in your field. [/quote]
