Is it possible that outcomes have shown your son that all he needs to do is sit back, watch TV and express his wants and needs and someone in the family comes through for him?

So long as family takes care of him and his business, as if he were a child, he has no reason to take responsibiity for himself.

Someone's mama used to say " You made your bed, now lie in it".

And yeah sadly, that sometimes includes soiling the bed.
