[quote=Anonymous]Take a deep breath, Judgy McJudgerson.  Not your problem, and you don't know what's going on.  There's certainly nothing wrong with your sister looking at the bright side and enjoying having her son around.  I mean, geez.

And FWIW, I know plenty of people who screwed up college at 18, and nonetheless got their shit together later.  My pothead/dropout cousin is now a Marine officer.  My best friend from high school went on a 2-year bender of drugs and sex and ended up dropping out (and declaring bankruptcy because of all the debt).  Several years of living at home/working/medication and therapy for mental illness/going to community college, and she turned her life around with some support.  Worked her way through college the second time and is now a teacher and churchleader.  I sure have plenty about which I could criticize both sets of parents, but taking the kids back in at home after they screwed up college is not one of them.  I hate to think where either one of them would have been if parents had just kicked them out at that point.[/quote]
