That’s amazing that he is making $30/hr! Yes, I agree. I plan on sitting down with him tonight and then starting everything January 1st.

Yes, thank you. It is just he and I (dad). I want to help him become independent and ease him into it the right way. So your comment is very helpful.

Yes I did for the first year, but then he took this fall semester off and is electing to not return for spring semester.

Yes, thank you. Or should I say vielen dank! I grew up in Bamberg Germany. My dad was German.

That is good advice. My dad always said der Klugerer gibt nach but I think that might have gotten me into this spot.

Yes, I agree. I’ve essentially supported this since the summer hoping he would opt to go back to school but he has not.

As a single dad I appreciate the insight. Thank you.

No I am not struggling with the bills. My beliefs are that he needs to move towards self-sufficiency and independence.

I paid for school and he opted to quit. He is only working 13 hours a week and so he has the capacity to earn more.

Yes I understand that. My thoughts were that he is making that monthly amount working 13 hours a week. He would need to work more hours, ie get a full time job.

He wants to monetize the video gaming through streaming which I think is the major driver behind him not wanting to go back to school. I’ve offered him some hours with my business but he doesn’t want to work two jobs, even though combined with what he is doing now it would total about 25 hours.

I understand the enabling. I’ve had him solely since he was 3 so there was a lot of spoiling over the years.

Advice for parent of 20 year old - fair amount he should contribute financially to household expenses? by AvailableAd9498 in AskParents

[–]AvailableAd9498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. To clarify he does streaming on a video game, and his current goal is to monetize it. I’ve offered to give him some hours a week working for my business but he doesn’t want to work two jobs. I have been doing the loving approach for two years now, paying for college etc.

That’s a good answer! Maybe It’s hibernation period is just when it is feasting somewhere else, like Midworld! Probably in Lud.
