I think it might be time for him to grow up and stop making excuses as to WHY he can't do anything constructive with his time...good grief, he is HOW OLD???? does someone brush his teeth for him too?
If you continue to DO EVERYTHING, he will continue to DO NOTHING (except make excuses)....at his age, his mother "spoiling him" shouldn't even enter this equation. maybe he can start doing for himself and take care of his own addiction. he's pretty choosey for someone who has been unemployed for 2 years.
