Sounds like your son takes everything for granted and doesn't appreciate life. You really need to throw him out. Like some people mentioned, find a cheap apartment, pay the first 3 months rent, and tell him to fend for himself. When he runs out of money and isn't allowed to move back home, reality will finally set in. He'll find a way to survive, trust me.

You can only do so much as a parent. You can do 99% of everything right for your child. Unforunately there's that 1% the kid must do. I've seen kids who come from good homes and who I know their parents did everything to prep them for life, and they still came out F ups.

There isn't much more you can do for your son. He needs to help himself now.

Yet another reason why the "SAW" movies were so good. These people took life for granted until they were faced with their own lives. Jigsaw was such a lovable character. You loved to hate him because he was right. Sounds like your son could learn a lot from him.
