Generation Lazy?

Best Of Dr. Phil - A podcast by Dr. Phil McGraw

Are today’s kids more entitled than past generations? Research shows that 80 percent of college graduates are moving back in with Mom and Dad, and many appear to be earning a degree in laziness! Dorothy says her son, Johnnie, isa spoiled con artist who attended more than four years of college, never earned a degree and has moved in-and-out of her home twice, free-of-charge. Johnnie says he never wants to find a job, and thinks his mom –who he claims is a multi-millionaire --is just being “greedy.” Dorothy says her son dropped out of college, traveled the world on an $84,000 inheritance intended for his education, and once threatened to burn down her house if she didn’t give him $5,000. She says she has found him odd jobs, provided his transportation and even bribed him to finish college, but he won’t stop freeloading. Dr. Phil shells out some tough love to both mom and son.Then, Maria says she cooks, cleans and does laundry for her 24-year-old daughter, Alexis, but the college graduate takes it all for granted. Alexis says she’s in a transitional period and isn’t ready to live on her own. Fed up, Maria says she has given her daughter eight months to save her money and get her own place –but is she being reasonable? Hear what Dr. Phil has to say, and get some tips on motivating anyone who is outstaying their welcome! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
