Yes, I know there are other branches. All have basic training of one kind or another, some of which are very effective at achieving the maturation I alluded to. I was Navy. Dad was Army.
As for the "idiot" thing, I was thinking about having parents do their jobs, but on second thought, you just can't cure "stupid."

This must be true because my husbands son, who is well over 25, lives in our basement. He refuses to get a drivers license, he does work however. WIth his father so he has a ride to work every nite. He was married once to a girl who was from the UK. Met her online. She came over here once to meet him, got pregnant and well, you can guess the rest of the story. At that time he was living with his mommy and step dad in their basement. He married the girl who had moved here from the UK. They and the baby continued to live in Mommy's basement until, Mommy and the new wife got into an argument. The son called my hubby and said he had to stay with us for few months. They moved in and were complete slobs. Needless to say that didnt last long. He finally found an apartment to move his bride and daughter into. Mind you...neither one has a drivers license. Daddy still picks him to go to work. Well the wife had enough, she got smart and moved back to UK with her daughter. He moves back home with his mommy and step daddy. Mommy dies a couple of years later, step dad decides he's selling the house, which I think he did just to get rid of step son. So now he's been living in our unfinished basement for the past 18 months. He does absolutely nothing to help around the house, not even cutting the grass. Well I take that back. When his father had a quad-bipass, he did cut the grass... ONCE!!
I have a feeling the only way we're going to get him out of our basement is to sell our house.
Sorry for the rant...I just got carried away. I have two daughters, both have good jobs, drivers licenses and live on their own. Thank God!!

Maybe the Son could go live with one of his Sisters! I believe there is a time when you have to cut the Cord, and now IS the time.

Wow. What a horrible situation! I feel for you.
PHS Act Section 2714, Continued Eligibility of Children Until Age 26 (26 CFR 54.9815-2714, 29 CFR 2590.715-2714, 45 CFR 147.120)
Section 2714 of the PHS Act, as added by the Affordable Care Act (and amended by the Reconciliation Act), and these interim final regulations provide that a plan or issuer that makes available dependent coverage of children must make such coverage available for children until attainment of 26 years of age.

Seriously, though, I've seen people as old as almost 50 who just don't get it, with regard to maturity. Do we make a law to keep them supported longer? When are we going to stop motivating people to sit and stagnate and refuse to grasp personal responsibility? Maybe never. That idea irks me.

I'm so sorry! My son is 18 and is not ready for the real world. I know it is my fault for providing him with a very sheltered life. Yes, he is pampered. But he does have household chores that he must do daily. He can cook, clean, does yard work, etc. He does good, not great. I am still trying to instill in him my OCD Perfectionist attitude when doing mundane jobs like sweeping the floor. But he seems to lack my eye for details. I don't know if that is an ingrained trait or a learned trait... This was a topic my husband and I were discussing last night.
The boy has until graduation until he has to get a job and endure a reality check..I worry. A lot. He is insanely smart and isn't lazy when it comes to stuff he enjoys doing or things he rates high on his priority list, like homework (He has excellent school/study habits) or making stuff. But getting him to pay attention to mundane things like wiping the kitchen counters when he does dishes...that's a whole other story. I don't get it.

At what age did you start automatically wiping the counters when you washed dishes?

Are you being silly, sarcastic, or just a mean ass? I honestly don't know how to take your comment.
