No compromise

The Oldest Son did not come home last night. I informed to "stay away" from the family.

No Clue

Yesterday, the oldest Son told the Wife that he was moving out of the house. I informed him that there was no stepping back. You move out you forefeit any access to house and its resources.

When do you stop

The Wife purpose in life is to over manage the kids lives. She is planning to buy a wardrobe for the Oldest Boy's freshman year in college.

I'm a man... without the responsibilities

Oldest son is to start college later this month. He has no interest in how the school will be financed; how he will pay his bills; nor even remotely what he intends to study.
