What? Only just hitting 25?

Better late than never, I guess🤣 or maybe it's never too late.🙂
Looks like someone was messing with my profile settings.😁

Whether that means whiskey, coffee, an electrolyte drink, a beer, or even some prescription meds... well, that’s really your business, not mine.

Maybe I should start drinking too. 😛

Jason Sanchez3 said:haha, I'm pushing the one person I can, but the others just won't listen...
her health has totally tanked because of him... she just keeps giving and giving and giving...

It's a vicious cycle with no easy exit, but something has to change... I just don't feel like it's my place to tell her how to raise her kids😢... I don't know... maybe I'll check out some books and grab her something...

no offense, but she's part of the problem too, 😢

Jason Sanchez3 said:He’s just spoiled, honestly. Growing up without any real boundaries, plus that one terrible situation where everyone just let him slide... it was like trying to hold water in your hands. One mess just led straight into the next.
My mom’s my biggest supporter in every way. We've always been super close... honestly, she's more like a best friend than just a parent.

It’s almost too good to be true. He stays out of her business, but he’s always checking in to see how her day went—not to nag or pick a fight, just because he cares. He acts like a total fool sometimes just to make her happy, hoping that if he gives 110%, he'll eventually step up his game. Honestly, though? She's a keeper.

Well, maybe they should just discipline him 🙂 There isn't much choice—you have to set boundaries, rules, rewards, and consequences. Being consistent is the big thing; you actually have to show some backbone.
But from the way you're describing things, it doesn't seem like they actually want to change how they treat him, which means he won't change either. They’d rather just stay stuck in this loop. I know it's easier that way, but if they really care about him, they should try to 😉
Change. I guess Mom and Dad should probably act like parents instead of just being friends.

Jason Sanchez3 said:That's exactly my point. If you're making less than $3,000 a month, there aren't many places to go... It's fine if he gets married, but how is someone supposed to cover rent or a car payment when they're barely scraping by for groceries and utilities?

He's got money, sure, but he's lucky. Honestly, anyone would stay put if they had a mom as amazing as his...

No offense, but she might be great to you, though the question is how great she actually is to him.🤷 Maybe he’s just craving attention, or maybe he didn't get enough emotional support growing up... some people just need love and connection more than a warm meal or material things. Otherwise, if he's mentally and physically fine, why else would he seek out attention like that?😕

Jason Sanchez3 said:No, totally serious......

I don't see the point in judging people like that... someone's 27 and living with their parents. Not everyone starts out with the same deck of cards, the same jobs, or the same income. I guess there isn't really one universal rule for how long you're supposed to stay at home.😢

Jason Sanchez3 said:But he doesn't live there, he actually has his own place all set up... He’s basically living the dream because his mom does all his laundry and cooking. No wonder he isn't in any rush... Plus, she stays out of his business and rarely even visits. He's got it made.

Well, it's their fault for putting up with it. They should probably just ban him from their part of the house or kick him out. Maybe if they actually followed through, he'd realize they aren't joking.
On one hand, parents are partially to blame because they tolerate too much. It seems cute when they're kids, but then they grow up to be total disasters and everyone acts surprised. 😕I know plenty of people who raise their kids like they'll stay little forever, never setting boundaries as the kid grows up. I'm not saying parents are responsible for everything, but they definitely cause a lot of it by being too permissive. He's testing their limits, and clearly, his family either has none or they just don't care enough to deal with it. 😕It’s easier to just ignore things and pretend they aren't happening, or maybe they just don't care enough 😕, which is how most people are. Or maybe his behavior is just a cry for help, I guess.🤷

Jason Sanchez3 said:true, but where are people with a paycheck of $1000 supposed to move?

There's no such thing as a yard like that. Is this sarcasm or are you actually being serious???

Jerry Martinez5 said:He’s 27 and still living at home? That’s just wrong, diagnosis or not. And honestly, it isn't just him being unstable—it's his mother and everyone else in that house who has to deal with it.

The first step would be politely telling him he needs to move out. Then, maybe, next time he visits, you just show him the door the second he makes a scene.

Well, where I live, even older people stay with their moms.😕 Joe, if he doesn't have a job, where is he supposed to go??? 😕

I guess I don't either 🙂 I'm not even looking for marriage 😁
I just want a successful, fulfilling life in other areas and to do things that actually make me happy 🙂 I'm a selfish person, I can't help it 🤣

Jesse Adams said:I didn't to make it about oneself. I'm done sharing personal details on a forum after some bad experiences.

I guess that means you're probably a professor then.😉

coastalhawk13 said:Look, you start out thinking it's all about having a deep love for the industry and then—bam—reality hits you like a freight train. 😂
Btw, you completely blew it. 👍
That's enough trolling for one day...

Still, I think medicine or biology are pretty solid fields.🙏👍

Jesse Adams said:Why do you even care?

Look, it's a discussion forum, for crying out loud. 🤣
You were the one who decided to make it about oneself by starting this thread. I guess I just want to know if students in teaching programs are actually smarter than those in research tracks. 🤷 🤷

Jesse Adams said:Is being insulting really the only tool in your kit?
Ignore.

Fine, so you think you're some kind of professor or something?🤷

feraltrucker5 said:Hmm... yeah. Honestly, I’m sitting here wondering why this thread even exists in the first place.

Click!

Like I’ve already said: this is just a pathetic, transparent attempt to vent some frustrations and play the troll.

Fair point. I mean, I'm pretty sure the average physics major is a total genius... but there are always exceptions. And let's be real, those exceptions are usually pretty glaring. ☕

Okay, so are people in teaching or pure science tracks actually smarter now? 🤷

From what I've gathered, biologists and medical students seem to be on the same level. 🙂

coastalhawk13 said:offtopic:
I get where you're coming from.
Nothing personal, but it really bugs me how much harder some people have to grind just to end up with the exact same degree.
Don't even get me started on the paychecks and the actual responsibility involved.

Wait, I actually thought you were heading off to college first. Some people just have this weird obsession with that area, I guess. 😕 I don't know, if you don't have that... I guess maybe you were just wrong. 😛
What kind of salary are we even talking about? You picked your own major, after all. If you're that unhappy with the pay, I guess maybe you should've just gone to business school. 😁

Jesse Adams said:I don't know. That's a good question, and I don't have a scientific answer for you. I can only offer my own personal experience if you're interested.

but what about the idea that education isn't tied to IQ? It's learned stuff, right? Intelligence is supposed to be the ability to handle new situations.

Any test related to intelligence functions like an IQ test and measures g for large populations. Why?
The answer lies in the Gaussian distribution. Other factors follow a Gaussian distribution too, and they balance out once the population is large enough.

but, based on my own experience, I still think if you put enough work into it, you can get results anywhere 😉
i mean, that sounds like total nonsense to me. You sit in a chair and end up a vegetable if you just spend all day rubbing your ass against a seat (not that I'm saying you'll get a great 😁 )

coastalhawk13 said:Look, I'm telling you, I only deal in absolute lightning strikes here... if it hits that 90 mark, consider it a gift. 😂

I can't even begin to wrap my head around why anyone would bother quoting someone else like that. It's just empty space. Give me something real to work with.

Look, I’m just gonna say it: you can't even put Medicine and Economics in the same sentence here in the States. It’s not even a fair fight. A bachelor's degree in Economics feels like a glorified term paper compared to what you deal with in Med school—and don't even get me started on Psychology.

I guess it isn't about how hard the college is, just what you're interested in. 🤷 You can't really compare them; for some people, memorizing a mountain of pages is way easier than learning math, and there's basically no math in medicine. 🤷
I don't know why everyone is hating on Economics so much. It's not actually that easy. 😁

Jesse Adams said:People, we're talking about averages here, not outliers.

Fine, but what if someone studies Economics and the natural sciences? 🤷
I guess that’s just a recipe for low IQ scores. I mean, can't anyone with an average IQ pass any major if they just put in enough work? 🤷
And what about the idea that education isn't tied to IQ? You learn things, right? Intelligence is just how you handle new situations.

coastalhawk13 said:In America.
Look around you and see what kind of people are actually enrolling in things like Economics or Political Science... back home. This whole argument is completely irrelevant when applied to the US.

well, they enroll in normal stuff. 😉 I know plenty of geniuses who studied or are studying Economics 🙄
and, why would Medicine be considered "better" than Economics or Law? 🤷 I mean, isn't it mostly about having an interest in the field? Try forcing someone into an Economics degree if they hate it, and you'll see how it goes regardless of their IQ.🙄
