Green woman: Since Bobby came home from college, I find his laundry everywhere, he leaves the kitchen a mess and he's always asking for money.
Purple woman: It gets easier, Joanne. He's just going through his terrible twenty-twos.
No, he can’t find a job worthy of his degree. Fortunately my son was so adverse to moving back home with either of his parents, that he chopped wood, painted fences, drove a truck, and more with his shiny new BS in anthropology. Eventually got a steady job as a nurses aide, decided to get a BSN and went back to school on his on dime. RN’s make good money. I know he played plenty of video games too, but not on my couch. On the other hand, my 62 YO cousin is panicked because his 90 YO dad is moving to a Veteran’s home and selling the house.
