I feel their pain! I have a 31 yo back at home for 2 years now. Used to manage a mattress store, now waits on tables... Wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have a HUGE footprint in the house. He stays up til 4am every night, plays video games incessiently and has been a veritable pain in the ass. It finally got to the point where we are going to set him up in a rental so that we can live a normal life....

Whoa! You're a couple of years past when you should've dropped him off at a recruitment office and driven away, so now I'll just say it's time to kick his ass to the curb. Plenty of waiters can support themselves without help from their parents. Your son can too. You're not doing him any favors.

Congratulations! You have a 31 year old teenager. Past time he learns to be a responsible adult. Being tougher on him is what being a parent is all about. You’re not going to be around forever and he needs to learn to feed himself. It really is unloving not to teach a child to fend for himself no matter how much of a fit he throws when you do it.

I’ve got one of those too. To bad we don’t live closer. We could set them up in an apartment together so the expenses would be cheaper.:)

Don’t let anybody give you a hard time and tell you what to do.
