[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op how do you all talk about and teach family values? Have you talked about and incorporated gratitude? He just seems to take everything for granted, honestly.

He absolutely does take things for granted. When I try to teach him about budgeting and not wasting money, he will say " we have lots of money". 
Of course I teach family values. Maybe he needs to volunteer.[/quote]
He also needs chores, back breaking, get dirty, ones, like gardening.  I am the PP who stated you are enabling him, and this is why.  You haven't taught him about budgeting until now?  He thinks you have lots of money so he doesn't have to worry about anything. I tell my kids we have money, but that money is going for our early retirement so we don't have to depend on them when we are older, so they better get a good paying job and learn how to budget.  We teach them that it is very expensive to live the way we do.   They get a small allowance, and they have been taught to budget and save.

He does sound spoiled, and whose fault is that?  As a pp stated, he didn't turn this way overnight.  You need to be tougher.  [/quote]

I have always taught budgeting, he says that when he wants things his way.
Yes, he is spoiled and that is obviously our fault. What can I do NOW?[/quote]
