[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s kid is the same as 99% of teenage boys now and in 2000 and in 1980. He’s probably not going to be a deadbeat. Damn y’all are pessimists! [/quote] Rationalization is a classic defense mechanism. "All boys are like this!" No, all boys are not like this. And no, it doesn't all magically work out in the end. There are over 10 million working prime age American men — 1 in 6 — who are unemployed and living in their childhood home. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/06/the-missing-men/488858/[/quote] All of you need to learn about unconditional love. That seems to be missing on here! I told my kids I’d love them even if they never took an AP class. I told them I’d pay for any college within the budget. All 3 are happy, self-supporting, balanced adults. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. [/quote]
