I have an eighteen year old son who is very talented. He works playing the piano at the local theatre on the weekends. He is very good. My daughter's ballet teacher has asked me if Ian would play for her class on Wednesdays. I asked Ian and he said NO. He won't even consider it. She's willing to pay him and everything. He lives at home for free.

I do all the Mom stuff around the house. I think the least he could do is show some initiative and take some easy money. He says he doesn't want to waste his time for just one night a week.

He's been a real **** ever since he turned 18. He suddenly found out that he knows everything and that I know nothing. He just wants to sit around, play music and only work on the weekends. He's going to the Performing Arts College in June. Should I just let him sit around until then????
