Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend because I simply could not keep him in my house anymore. He yelled, "No, I can do whatever I want!" Then went back to playing video games. He's 38. FML

Did you ever think about addressing this problem a little earlier?

YDI for letting it get that far. Just throw his stuff out and change the locks. The guy is 38 for ****'s sake.

Jeez, so many negative comments! Maybe there's a reason why he's doing what he's doing? What if he has depression or agoraphobia or something else getting in the way of him getting up and doing things for himself? Or maybe he never knew how to go out and get a job, and he feel into the routine of living at home because no one taught him how to do anything else? If someone's going through that, kicking them out isn't gonna help them succeed. The first step to helping someone like that is finding out what the problem is. Then you can offer to help him deal with the problem and help him to find a job and an apartment. If he's 38 and has been living at home all his life playing videogames with no job, I doubt everything is fine and that he'll be able to get on with his life with no help at all. Even if the reason he fell so behind was something simple like he was nervous about getting a job, by now he's lived so long never having to face reality and it'll be a lot harder. Whatever the reason is, he needs love and support. I highly doubt anything positive would come from kicking him out. And I doubt anyone here would think its a good idea for someone like him to be roaming around the streets. He'll be causing more people to have FMLs to post if that happens. Anyway, the part about having a gf doesn't make much sense, not everyone needs a partner to be able to succeed in life and we don't even know if he likes girls. Besides, dumping the problem on some random chick is a bad idea.

Time to kick him out and let him figure out where to go. Give him a week notice....don't back out either.

I would just kick him out. though love goes a long way. he's 38, he should have grown up a long time ago.

Kick him out, I don't care if he's your son and you feel obligated, he should not be allowed to disrespect you that much and still live in your house and as long as you let him stay, he's going to continue with his behavior like he's a toddler
