He still lives at home. He works retail and has always worked at least part time. I paid for the first two years of JC and have now stopped (his GPA was about 1.5). We've have told him that if he does not continue to go to college, he must pay us rent and that will start in a few weeks. He spends every extra penny he has on this crap. He must have 300 cd's.
Oh, I could rant for days, but I appreciate your input. This sounding board may save my sanity and his skin!!
