Would you ever love your child enough to allow them to never work?

My 1st cousin, once removed on my dad's side, he's 25 years old and doesn't work or go to college. He either sits at home all day, scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, or asks his parents for money to travel. Doesn't wash the dishes, and doesn't cook for himself, his mom does everything. His dad is the breadwinner -- a manager at some tech office.

And that's not all. My 1st cousin on my mom's side is the same! Sits at home or goes out to eat using his parents' money. Doesn't go to college. 23 years old.

Maybe?

I worked my ass off since I was 15 years old and supported a family. My ex fucked me over and left me broke.

Now if my son wanted to live with me and not work I would probably just tell him to make sure to exercise and stay away from drugs, otherwise I don't care, just be happy.

Never that's setting them up not to be able to make it in life

No that's not love. That's not helping them advance. 25 too old unless they make money otherwise... but no

I'd love my hypothetical child too much to set them up for failure like that

Hell to the fucking no. Your gonna be a grown up and get a job and move out.

They are not doing this kid any favors.
