[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder how OP would feel if this were her own child and not a stepchild...[/quote]

OP here. Me too. I wonder if I'd feel different.

I hope if my child starts going in that direction I have enough strength to let him sink or swim.

I was trying to analyze where did the parents go wrong with him.  I remember when he was a kid he didn't have any rules - he didn't study, he would play games all night and sleep all day, eat garbage, no one went into his room, and his father was afraid to say anything to offend him.

He didn't learn to plan or organize himself - [b]he would miss out on a education grant because he didn't want to make the effort of filling out paperwork[/b].  He's used to someone always guiding him - where to go, what to do.  So he lacks initiative. Clueless.  He's not a go-getter by any means.  He doesn't ask questions and that puts him in disadvantage.  For example, he didn't know exactly what classes he had to take until he thought he was graduating and found out there was more he had to complete.  Or he'd come on a holiday to find out there were no classes.

I'm trying to apply lessons learned with our younger child.  I'm not sure what kind of parenting produces infantile kids.[/quote]
