[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he is looking at all the other 21 yr olds whose parents are able to provide for them and is resentful?  My AC lives with me.  Finished college education, making decent money in his tech job, will be staying for another 2 years so that can move to another city  with a nice cash reserve. we have paid for everything.

I am sure some friends who are struggling and doing it without parental help may feel resentful.  We are not rich by any means, but we are in a position to help because we made good decisions in our youth.  This mean that my AC had to not worry about college, grad school, house, food, expenses, phone, medical insurance, money, moving cost etc - even though we are MC.

Your son is not getting this kind of leg-up from you.  That you were a single mom at 21 means that he  did not have a great start in life. He is aware of that. [/quote]

OP, you sound overbearing. It also sounds like he’s pretty much making his own way in the world and has to deal with your nagging in addition to that.

Tell him you’re proud of him. Buy him the shoes and pick up his favorite meal. Then go away and be quiet. Give this young adult man, who sounds like a hard worker and good person, some peace. [/quote]
Why on earth did you sign on to this sanctimonious bulls*** that makes sure to get in some digs at the OP (“good choices”  :roll: ) AND be wrong about the facts of OP’s situation?[/quote]

Responded to OP’s original post and info provided there. It’s not sanctimonious to take care of your kids. Sorry you feel that way. You sound insecure. [/quote]
