DR & Dr Phil give simple advice that happens to WORK.
Dr. Phil and Dave Ramsey are TV entertainers.

Your statement above is the exact reason congress is so screwed up. IMO, when you make someone do the right thing, they do it.
I happen to think our system of government is the best in the world and our forefathers were geniuses in forming the 3 branches of government.

In fact, I like the balance between the House and the Senate.

But I take it you are a Simplistic George Bush supporter?

Don't like a country? Let's invade them, right? And just borrow the difference, right?

If you have a solution that will work, I suggest you present it. And when they are through doing everything they can to coddle him, they will be forced to do it right. You seem to fit the mold: I am a doctor, therefore I know.
I know this - there isn't way enough information here to diagnose and treat this dysfunction. We are getting one side of the story.

IMO, "throwing someone out on their ear" is probably best reserved only for extreme situations (drug abuse, violence).

Hey, I'll admit - as a taxpayor, I have a selfish interest here. . .the family unit is the best form of social insurance we have.

Throw him out on his ear and he's not ready and he ends up on welfare/unemployment and the State is supporting him, instead of a functional family unit, working to make him a contributing member of society.

Some people think there is more honor in having the State support someone; I happen to be in the camp that the family is a better choice than the State.

Maat,

I want to apologize to you while I am thinking of it. I stand by my opinions here but I think they were a little too "in your face"/provocative.

Again, I am not a fan of simple solutions to complext problems and think most delicate situations call for a thoughtful approach.

I hope the family in question here acheives a peaceful solution.

Like you, I hope for the family and son, a happy ending.

I do wish to make it clear that my original advice was to give him three months to prepare. Reading the OP's post again still leads me to believe the son is a freeloader. And I certainly don't think that everytime a kid acts bad there is a disorder attached to it.

I in no way believe that you nor I are anymore qualified over the other to give advice to this situation. I gave the advice of a 46 year old man with 25 years of fatherhood. I too stand by my oppinion. With that said, I will agree to disagree.

I too agree that the founding fathers put together the best government known to man. But, what it has morphed into is an arguement for another day.
