Parents are trying to "help" their kids but what they really need to do is put a boot in their ass.

When you have a child and they are ------- up, as a parent, you will resort to many meens to get him on the straight and narrow. Thats probably why they bought him a porsch,It want because he deserved it. I'm pretty shure it was a "last resort" insentive.

I will suport my son(monetarily) untill he graduates college. If he desides he doesnt want to go then he's out when he turns 18. I dont care if he comes back(he wont know that). I just want him to go out and see what life is like without the security net.

Im the youngets of 5. I have seen my fathers mstakes. I have a brother that is a scammer, lazy, thiefbecause they gave him everything and expected nothing. One that is a 50yo mamas boy.He cant even wipe his ass on his own. Another that has no aspirations in life because he was neglected . My sister and I are the two outcasts because we left home early.My point? I can look back and allmost point out what my dad did wrong in every case. I would like to think that I learned how to be a better father by not being like mine. :-\
