My choices are to go alone or to take everybody, including the baby.
My wife and I have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old. Bringing the whole family to the graduation would be too much for our younger child to handle.
My son is very book-smart and had a full ride to a prestigious university, where he stayed for only a year and a half. He’s always done very well in school, but he’s lazy. My wife and I have never lived alone our entire marriage, and she’s getting frustrated. My wife has no children and feels like it’s time to get mine out of our home.
He needs to get a job. At a fast-food drive-thru, a landscaping crew, the Walmart warehouse, or wherever he can get hired.I would cut the wireless at your house during the day, stop paying for his cellphone, and offer him only a roof over his head and nourishment until he can afford other housing. I know this is tough, but your marriage is on the line, and so is his future.
