I agree that they are men and should take responsibility for their actions. Age however does not always dictate maturity. I am no expert nor did I observe their upbringing, but I do not feel that they were ever fully developed in the home by their parents. Therefore, they aren't truly adults, but 22 and 24 year old kids.

My dad is a very successful guy, and wasn't around that much when I was a kid. I had a couple of bumps in the road, but nothing close to these GROWN MEN. They are screwing up in a BIG way. Lots of narcotics, guns, DWI's... The last thing that's gonna do them any good is someone making anymore excuses for them. Frankly these kids that grow up so privledged should accept the responsibility and turn into leaders, not people we make apologies for. I don't feel sorry for his son one bit. Straighten up pal. Welcome to life.

I see your point and I agree, however if you or I turned out to be screw ups wouldn't our fathers feel the least bit responsible? I know that whenever my kids screw up I blame myself and punish them. So absolutely, they should not be coddled, but that type of parenting needed to be present all along and probably wasn't.

I wouldn't feel responsible if I did my duty as a parent. I would, however, feel sad.

Exactly as long as you feel that you did your part as the parent.

FYI these boys get whatever is comming to them by both the law and Andy. I was just saying that if I was Andy I would retire just to yank a knot in their asses.
