I gave my son an ultimatum on his 21st birthday , he was showing no signs of doing anything worthwhile and was hanging out with a bunch of do nothing nohopers and was bludging off us and not even offering to contribute anything to his keep - We couldn't afford this to go on , so I read the riot act to him and told him to either shape up or ship out. He shipped out and soffa surfed for while then decided he liked it better at home and decided what he wanted to do and did something about getting the training he needed to do it.
Best thing we ever did for him - forced him to grow up.
His mates must have thought I was mungrel - he told them and Centrelink he was kicked out on his 21st. He's the one who decided to ship out. I gave him the option to stay .
