Topic: What would you do if your child refused to grow up?

Say, chronic alcoholism, inability to hold down a job, wanting to live with you into middle age. What would you do?
I think this is a very serious problem.

I’d kick him out with a one-way ticket to the third world.

Is there a market for layabouts in the circus?

That's a lot of problems for a child to deal with! I didn't know children could develep alcoholism.

The real question is: why should we condone such behaviors in youth, but not in adults?
If it's socially acceptable for the young, it must ultimately be socially acceptable for the old. Anything less is ageism.

I'd ponder how I fucked up so badly as a parent to turn my child in to a fucking basement dweller. I might hang myself after that pondering session.
