Four of my six are homegrown. But due to bipolar and other issues one of those adult kids can suck the joy right out of life. The problem with his thinking is that if I don't say anything at all, he assumes he has my tacit approval to do whatever.<br /><br />Our solution was a painful one. He had to go. At 20 he graduated from a vocational school, knew everything, and would not live here peacefully. He moved out, went through some major tough stuff, moved back in briefly and finally moved out again. He's struggled, but he's doing so much better.<br /><br />And I like him tremendously now that he's growing up. Boys take a long time to become men sometimes.<br /><br />And yes, I've given him (and his adult sisters) some financial help sometimes. But money for a movie? Never. Needs versus wants. <br /><br />My own personal struggle with control I guess!<br /><br />Rock on, girl. You gotta do what's right for your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-82276494679230098082010-05-02T12:20:19.210-05:002010-05-02T12:20:19.210-05:00Can I have a pop?Can I have a pop?Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787558088525970576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-66127398981586107202010-05-02T07:44:36.865-05:002010-05-02T07:44:36.865-05:00Failure is a harsh word.
