Unfortunately, it is. I'm torn between keeping my distance and hoping there's no backsplash on me and jumping in to try to "fix" it. While I'm sure they'd accept my "help" (read: money) I'm equally sure my advice/guidance would be unwelcome. Prototypical millennial snowflakes. And quite frankly, I'm not going to provide "help" unless they accept and act on my advice. Wait and see I guess. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I would do the same. No help if you will not act and provide for yourself. I hear most LEA are hiring, maybe that'll be a good match? Is there any motivation that would lend to having a good LEO career? Maybe the military? Both have good benefits, and are enjoyable careers. Used guns deserve a home too | |||

The new reality is 30- They ain't leaving home until they have too. Heck I have a friend who bought another house and moved since his 2 sons weren't ever going to leave. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

Now people understand why Momma Birds kick the young out of the nest and then leave. But I've seen it too, mostly with step-kids that my friends have. One had to move his wife and kid out of state and sell the house to get the two | |||

| Too old to run, too mean to quit! |
At age 20 I had been the army for nearly 3 years. Also got married at 20. We had a child but we had talked it over and decided that we could handle 1 child, given that we were career soldier family and would be moved every 3 years, if not sooner. My advice to the thread author, kick them the hell out! I know a number of families that had "problem children" up to the point that the problems got kicked out and put on their own.

Update: The 20 year old dumbass in the OP is my Grandson. Just texted me and said he's been hired as a laborer with a construction outfit. Full time, OT available, benefit package, decent starting wage, upward mobility if he applies himself. I think he's beginning to catch on... Be careful when following the masses.

Good to hear it - give it 2-4 weeks and see how it pans out. | |||

Yeah, my ex-GF was like that. Is like that. Every time she got a job she'd stay for a few days and then quit. Like "Boy, this working shit is HARD!" Welcome to the real world, sweetheart. Here's hoping your grandson makes it stick this time. | |||

I thought it was "they'll beat the living hell out of you until you marry her." | |||

Hopefully this is a wake-up call for your grandson and he will start being responsible. Great-grandpa Paul sounds pretty cool. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||

Of course it's family. In PHPaul's part of Maine, EVERYBODY is family...  (Couldn't resist the dig. My cousin lives up there.)

That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."
