I've been waiting to see if he was going to help clean all week, and he hasn't lifted a finger. Then stayed up past 5 AM and I doubt he will wake up in time to help clean... :finga:
Does he stay up on the computer all night like my youngest does?
He has his groups of friends. they come and go at different times. He has the "night crew" that will come over and they drink beer and hang out in his room on the computer, x-box, and Netflix all night long..
He's supposed to be going to school or working, he didn't do either this semester, just keeps saying that he's going to, but doesn't...
Whenever I offer to help him send out resume's, he's always "too busy" at the time and never follows through later.
When I did send some out for him, he didn't check his email and to see if he got any "bites" and answer them back. I keep telling him to look and answer if he wants a job, but he blows it off.
Bottom line - he really doesn't want to start working. He's had a free ride so long, he's trying to milk it as long as he can...
He doesn't realize that if he keeps it up, nobody will want to hire him without much work history when he's in his mid or late twenties (If that is when he will decide to "get it together"...)
His younger brother went to high school full time, worked at a grocery store part time, saved up and bought a VW Jetta to drive every day economy car, and is graduating with straight 'a's this year and got a small scholarship....
Two totally different kids....
I love them both, but am frustrated getting the older one back in gear... He's pulled straight a's and 3.9 GPA, but he's lost his drive and is now coasting.... His mom was the same at that age, so I'm battling some genetics here...
His mom finally went to college in her late 30's and then went to back and got a master's degree last year. She finally got her first full time job last year in her mid-forties....
Her younger sister is still living at home off dad. Her life got "tough" so she crawled into a hole and ignores the rest of the world. Their dad finally retired last year. He should have been able to many years ago (like 10) but he's had to support two daughters.... After her parents die, I give her 5 years max before she's living on the street if she doesn't get her **** together.... (emotional baggage)...
