If he feels adult enough to buy a car for someone other than himself and make the payments on it, he should also be responsible enough to get his butt to work on his own and take care of himself, no? His parents need to nudge him out of the nest and let him learn the consequences of his decisions.Amy Claryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177755840030194395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915850790971272618.post-25746875641151411172009-06-12T22:25:44.090-05:002009-06-12T22:25:44.090-05:00That's really tough.

He should not still be home giving his paycheck to someone outside the home. If he is, then he needs to move out and become his own man. He is responsible for his own future, not his gf unless he plans to marry her.<br /><br />BabaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915850790971272618.post-17097349136128068332009-06-12T17:54:33.567-05:002009-06-12T17:54:33.567-05:00Oh jeeze...I am kinda a tell it like it is type of...Oh jeeze...I am kinda a tell it like it is type of person so I would probably tell them that he is being stupid, and to stop giving him rides...Also to tell him to stop giving her all of his money!

I think it's nice that they let him live at home, but they shouldn't continue to give him rides.

Kids in "love" at such a young age.. ugh.. it makes me want to rip my hair out sometimes..because they just don't see life for what it is.. don't see the consequences.. and for that reason.

He probably will find out the hard way, though when she breaks his heart. Unfortunately, that is how some kids choose to learn - the hard way. Hopefully, the harder the lesson the more it sticks for the future.The Buntenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621963894614154802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915850790971272618.post-23627959039880537392009-06-12T09:58:44.309-05:002009-06-12T09:58:44.309-05:00well, he's 19 so he's an adult. he needs ...well, he's 19 so he's an adult. he needs to figure his own way. at his age his parent's should offer advice and (emotional) support, but otherwise, he's his own man.<br /><br />too bad he's going to get his heart broken by this leach of a girlfriend, but it's how we learn. <br /><br />i made many mistakes before i figured some things out for myself. and it sounds like Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565579819334424133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915850790971272618.post-68496039628433320322009-06-12T09:28:57.680-05:002009-06-12T09:28:57.680-05:00I'm sorry but teenagers can be so dumb.

The sad truth is, if his parents put his foot down, they'll probably lose their relationship with him, at least for a little while. My kids are still young (thank God!), so I don't reallly have any good advice, except we all have to make our own mistakes, Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831391169635482585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915850790971272618.post-32884003710854209042009-06-12T08:43:32.055-05:002009-06-12T08:43:32.055-05:00Hmm. . . .sorta a no-brainer!Hey - get your own ri...Hmm. . . .sorta a no-brainer!Hey - get your own ride to work!
