Advice needed

he kept reminding us he was an adult and was capable of making his own decisions!!!

Treat him like the adult that he thinks he is and force him to DECIDE to self fund rather than mooch off his parents.

I am not a parent, but I am a son with a wonderful mother who I know would do anything to ensure that I am financially not in stress....but I get cross with her when she even does the little things like buy me a new shirt, because that is not her job as a mother any more.

I simply cannot stand children not taking responsibilty and expecting their parents to bail them out when they are adults. If he makes the wrong choices, it should not be mum and dad bailing them out with hard earned cash that can be used to fund a comfortable retirement.
