My 38 year old son won't get a job

I'm about to pull my hair out. My son is 38 years old and since high school he has never had a job and didn't go to college. He lays around the house all day playing Xbox and PS3 and farting around on the Internet and doesn't work. He also yells at me and my husband for little things like if we don't buy him the right kind of pizza or if we get him the wrong video game. I have had discussions with my husband but he refuses to kick him out because he will be homeless.

I'm also afraid he will live on the streets if we make him leave so we don't. He lays around on the sofa eating pizza half the night like a bum and sleeps all day. He isn't fat, he has a 120 IQ, but he refuses to work.

He said he hates it so we don't make him do it. Maybe I shouldn't be angry since he enjoys his life but what will happen when we die? He will inherit the house but he has to pay the bills for it. That is what I am worried about.

IQ is an EXCUSE he and parents use to JUSTIFY not working...

I have a good friend and she says her daughter can't work because of too high of an IQ.... so she sure can live off mom for 40 years.


Excuses....

As a psychologist, this is truly a bad situation. Not only does something need to be done, something needs to be said. My clinical advice would be to create a situation, perhaps involving a scenario that would make him feel ashamed of his corpulance. Introduce a female friend around his age, who becoms suspect to his folly, this should create the need for him to rethink his ambition.

Times are tough, I have many clients who've had to move their grown children into their home because of the current financial climate.
However it is rare to hear of an adult male who would be happy in this situation. What state do you reside in? Can I suggest some great professionals in your area that could help you?
