18 highschool senior, so it is tricky.

He makes really bad decisions, almost by choice. I feel like if we push he will just say ok I am moving out. Not something we want for him, and at least in the short term it wouldn't be good for him.
I don't want to cut him off, but the sense of entitlement is amazing. Wanted to know how much money he had for college, we've always told him we would spend about the same amount as for our older two, but you know, it is his money so he wants to know.

Hard for me to balance the tough love that I think he could use with the love and generosity I want to give him as a father.
