OMG, seriously, MIL???
My SS is almost 23. Yes, 23. I was married with kids then. But, whatever...
MIL sends DH and I an email to tell us how worried she is about SS. (He lives with my ILs.) He's just so "down" on himself.
Well, DUH, MIL, this man-child is almost 23, not self supporting and just failed to graduate with his class last month from his "hospitality school."
I think he SHOULD feel down about himself right now!!
I didn't bother to respond. What I REALLY wanted to say was, "Of course he's down on himself. He's always been coddled and told how wonderful he is and how proud everyone is of him when he does nothing but SCREW UP!"
Grr. Rant done. For now.

I think you were right not to
I think you were right not to respond. If your MIL doesn't have a life and wants to baby her adult grandson, then I suppose that is her prerogative, but trying to hook everyone else into doing it too is a bit much.
Tell me about it! I'm ready
Tell me about it! I'm ready to explode today. This stuff has been going on for awhile now.
He was in some program (that cost about 9 grand) to be a hotel concierge. I don't fully get it, but graduation was a couple of weeks ago and SS didn't get to graduate because he hadn't done everything he needed to do.
The whole thing just flat pisses me off. He's almost 23!!!
