Op here, I will say that DH was my most challenging kid. He was headstrong and demanding from the time he was a baby. He was rarely content and cried a lot as a baby. He fought potty training and putting on clothes. I would dress him, he would take it off.  If we wanted him do his chores, he would argue about why it was unfair or he shouldn't have to do it - for a much longer time than the chore would take. He dropped out of college and blamed us because shouldn't have made him go in the first place. This is his personality.[/quote]

My first born was essentially born with eeyore’s personality. I am the root of all his issues in his mind. I made mistakes I’m sure, but as his younger sister said - he doesn’t own any of his own sh*t ever, and seems to prefer a life of loud desperation[/quote]

An adult who hasn't stepped up to own their life decisions and mistakes is still living as a child. What good does it do to go into therapy and not feel like you have the power to change your own behavior and life - blaming mom and dad is easy, changing your thinking and habits is hard adulting. I think there are a lot of adults on here who just want to blame other people for their adult problems. [/quote]
