The OP's family isn't going to see this conversation, most likely. And if they did, they aren't going to care.

This dude does need to start getting his life together though.

Thanked 211x in 141 Posts Gil: 7,767 Bank: 32,274 Total Gil: 40,042 Donate | Re: Need some help! Should I call Dr. Phil?lol This is simple enough: Parents charge freeloading son rent every month.
If he (a 21 year old) truly just sits around all day playing ffxi and not contributing to the house hold what-so-ever, he's freeloading. Pockey to the theories of being afraid of daylight. Maybe he does have some condition. Whatever. Businesses hire disabled persons.
Point is, parents are enabling. Setting rules or limits for your children living in your household is completely fair. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
