It will be so embarrassing the parents can't keep up the fake appearance they're [i]amazing[/i] parents and he's doing [i]amazing[/i] at college. And the validity of that fake parenting is some worthless $100,000 bachelor's. The future "salesman" doesn't need a degree to go sell cars or be a loan officer. Instead of yanking an obvious mooching manipulating brat out of his multi-year spring break -- maybe waking him up for once or just saving the family a substantial sum of money -- you underwrite it, so mommy and daddy's friends and associates don't know they've raised an unmotivated bum.[/quote]

PP, I say this with good intent: If your post is serious, you should do some self-evaluation as you appear to be a vindictive and bitter person.  If you are trolling, and doing this for "fun", then you are a sick person.[/quote]

Complicit parents are postponing the inevitable. Instead of confronting the reality, at an age he might still learn, they're propping up this charade. Wishful thinking, say he finishes the BA, but then comes home and is the same unmotivated loafer (why wouldn't he be?), so what's the excuse going to be then? Are they going to feign surprise that he was this [i]amazing[/i] college student and now he's a video game addict vaping in the basement?[/quote]
