That’s true. However, I am not against approriate tough love. When my younger son turned 18, stopped going to school and had no job, I told him his older brother who had just gotten back from Middle East military service told me his friends were paying their parents $200 a month room and board. I said I would like him to start paying me $200 a month, and he said, in that case I’ll move out. He did, lived with 5 friends in a $350 a month house. I encouraged a friend I had helped to give him a job but not take any bullxxxx from him. It worked out well, he married a college graduate, has 2 children, and a good job he created for himself. He was dyslexic and did not do well in school. I used to have him help me with carpentry and other house maintenance projects. He is now supervising a crew of 10 on rehabing large condos.
