[quote=Anonymous]At some point everyone is responsible for their own actions and decisions. You can blame bad parenting or tough circumstances but every single person eventually has to own up to their own choices. The parents may have coddled and spoiled one kid to oblivion, but IMO that is not an excuse for a 35 year old + to sit on their @ss all day, taking money from their parents.

I have one sibling like this and another sort of 50% like this. However I was not coddled at all and basically forced to grow up and be financially independent at 18 (my parents paid 0 for my college, and that’s ok). I am thankful they didn’t coddle me, but some of it is just my personality to want to be independent. My 50% taker sibling will take as min as you hand out but once the well runs dry suddenly she CAN find a job. My other sibling is mean, angry, rude and insufferable. He’s the baby, at 42. He SOMETIMES drives for grubhub but otherwise just spends my mother’s money (and she gives it to him). He just feels entitled to not having to work but getting whatever he wants. Are my parents to blame? Sure but at his age so is he. [/quote]
