Sorry you are having a rough time. I have a 22 year old dtr who was raised as an only child (I have a 37 year old birth son who just came into our lives, her full brother,. My dtr has always worked and goes to college but lives at home. She is good about saving her money, but we pay for everything except her clothes and expenses when she goes out. She does nothing around the house, my fault for not making her. I am trying to prepare her for the real world, gas, insurance, rent, food etc but I don't think they will get it until they are on their own and have to manage their own finances. In Hindsight it is always easy to see where we went wrong. I do believe most grow up and appreciate us once they realize what we actually did for them. He will get it one day, just hang in and know you are not alone. |
