Stop Pampering the Children

Twenty-four-year-old Scott Nicholson lives at home in Grafton, Mass., and won't take a $40,000 a year job because it's a "dead-end."

Instead he'll continue living at home with Mommy and Daddy, who pay his cell phone bill. Meanwhile his college costs to go to Colgate were paid for by Grandma and Grandpa. (NYT coverage of this story here.)

Time to step up to the plate, Scott. Get a work history going. Be independent. Move out of your bedroom.
