[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] dp.. I understand what you mean, and the challenge is definitely, as the parent, sticking to it.[b] I get that it's hard to see your kids suffer, but IMO, if you don't stick to it, your kids will eventually suffer because you as the parent are constantly propping them up. it will be harder for the adult kids to get off their butts.[/b] At minimum, an adult child can get a job -- Target, food service, etc.. I've said the same things to my kids. One DC is well on their way to getting a FT job after college; the other is just starting college but even they have had a job since 16 and plan on working in college (for spending money). This is no different than when your kids were younger, and you followed (or not) through on the consequences you put forward. Gotta follow through.
