Dear Amy: I'm getting ready to retire and I'm tired of enabling my son.
We were never extravagant, but we believe we have led great lives.We set aside money for our children to go to school – and we foot the whole bill. Our youngest graduated from college and moved to our second home.His girlfriend lives there with him.
I wonder what is different about your youngest that your husband believes he is so incapable of maturing into a functioning adult. Many families are facing an unexpected second launch scenario because so many young adults came back to live with their folks during the pandemic.You should see “tough love” at this level as potentially tender and affirmative. You might have experienced this when you sent your son to kindergarten and then college.
To enable the conversation with your husband – and also with your son – read, “Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most,” by authors Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen .
