[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, unfortunately, has a friend like this. They are on the same soccer team. According to his mom, soccer and video games are the only two things he does.

She's always holding her breath each school year at the very end to see if he'll pass or fail. He's so far skirted through and is now in the 11th grade. He has zero ambition according to her. He does the bare minimum and that's it. When they ground him and take away electronics, he sleeps. He does no chores and neither parent can make him do anything. Sad situation.

He's had 3 jobs and been fired at all 3 within weeks of starting due to his laziness and terrible personality. [/quote]

I hear you, PP.

I believe Jeff has heard you too.  He created a new sub forum “Adult Children” to broadly cover this topic.

But, if you read the threads, it is apparent many parents are struggling with children who “fail to launch,” lack ambition, can’t or won’t find work, lack drive and ambition, struggle with addiction to marijuana, alcohol, and other substances,  etc.

The pandemic certainly did not help the problem.[/quote]
