The “Nanny State” continues to usurp family sovereignty and
undermine the family structure. Property owners should not be subject to legal
expenses to deal with their own family members.
When everybody behaves, families have always taken care of
their own. The family is the basic economic unit in free societies. This
usually works for families until one family member becomes disruptive, weird or
abusive. The parents who own the house should be free to banish the offender.
This sad event usually involves drugs, alcohol and sociopathic bad behavior.
Forcing offenders to take personal responsibility to support themselves and
confront their own reality is beneficial to their recovery.
Government just makes things worse by misplacing
responsibility and undermining personal responsibility. We now have weird kids
turning into school shooters. Weird kids usually banish themselves by locking
themselves in their bedrooms. In college, they hide in a “safe space”. Our free
will lead us into problems if we have self-defeating attitudes and make bad
decisions. Those who tolerate this are “enablers”.
Tolerance must be earned and is reciprocal. Tolerance for bad
behavior is suicidal and leads to anarchy. It is achieved through manipulation.
Effective resistance to manipulation is necessary and requires good listening
skills. It’s an art that requires time,
patients and moderation. The bar set by the parents needs to be gauged to the
ability of the child to reach it.
Parents just need to be assertive and supportive at the same time. Emotional
maturity is rare and so are listening skills, but those who have these are
fortunate.
It is difficult to deal with people who do not know
themselves and are not reflective of their own behavior. Transactional analysis
describes self-defeating behaviors.
Responsibility involves proximity. We are first responsible
for ourselves. Next we are responsible to help our spouses and children. We are
left with the consequences of our attitudes and actions.

box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
Parents forced to take 30-year-old “Deadbeat” son to court to
evict him, by Daphine Moon, 5/24/18
‘Failure to launch syndrome’ a new condition named after the
2006 movie starring Matthew
McConaughey where his parents try everything to get their adult son
to ‘leave the nest’. Including paying a ‘professional’, played by Sarah
Jessica Parker, to help coax their son out of the home.
In
New York, one couple is currently living a real-life version of the movie and
have issued at least five eviction notices to their adult son, at one point
offered him money to leave, before resorting to taking
legal action. It seems to be a growing issue with Millennials where they
are staying home with their parents for longer than expected. Some blame
economic strains but most say that the entitlement of the millennials is the
real cause.
According
to NY Post, an upstate couple got so fed up with their unemployed
30-year-old son’s refusal to leave the nest that they
finally sued to evict him —
and won.
Mark
and Christina Rotondo were forced to the extreme-parenting measure after giving
their layabout millennial boy Michael cash for moving expenses, pleading with
him to get on with his life and finally sending written legal notices demanding
he grow up and move out.
After listening to Micheal’s response on Fox News we are
inclined to say entitlement seems to play a major roll in his
reasoning. Take a look.
When asked if he considered spending
as much time looking for a new place to live as fighting the eviction, Rotondo
replied that he wasn’t ready to leave home.
Asked how he interacted with his
parents under the same roof, Rotondo said there were no incidents, but that he
did not talk to his parents. When asked if he lived in the basement, Rotondo
replied in a bedroom.
In court, Rotondo noted that his
parents did not support him by providing food or doing his laundry. But he
insisted that they were providing for him with housing, in arguing why he
should be granted another six months to find a new place to live.
Exasperated, the judge at one point
mentioned Airbnb in pointing out how easy it was to find a place to stay on
short notice.
After court, Rotondo said he had a
business to support himself. But when asked about his business, Rotondo
replied: “My business is my business.”
When all was said and done, the
judge asked the parents’ lawyer to come up with an eviction order that
Greenwood would sign. No specified deadline was stated in court, but the lawyer
mentioned that it would include a reasonable time for Rotondo to vacate.
