‘He needs a dose of the real world:’ Lazy son flunks out of college, sister confronts enabling mother over letting him play video games at home all day

Welcome, women of the internet! Do you remember when you got your first reality check? That is, the moment you realized that you are no longer a child and that you are fully responsible for your adult decisions. Some unfortunately come to this realization at far too early of an age and others far too late in their lives. It's crazy to think that many make it to adulthood without experiencing such a pivotal moment. Such adults never had to face consequences for their actions and likely take much of their lives for granted.

In our story today, a young man flunks out of college and goes to live with his mother. Despite the fact that she dipped into her own savings to aid him financially, he has shown no intention on taking responsibility for his failure, and spends much of his days playing video games inside. Finally, his sister snaps and gives their coddling mother some advice (and so do internet commenters)! Get all the deets down below!
