Karol Markowicz—Deadbeat son is a sign of America’s failure to raise boys:
Last week, a judge in New York ruled that a 30-year-old man must move out of his childhood home on June 1 after his parents served him with several notices asking him to go. The ruling inadvertently exposed a hidden truth: The boys are not all right.
A generation of damaged boys are turning into impaired men and, as seen by the mocking coverage of this case, we’re treating this development like a joke, encouraged to ridicule and condemn them for it.
For months, Mark and Christina Rotondo asked son Michael to vacate their home. He had lived with them for eight years and, as he approached his 31st birthday, his parents set deadlines encouraging him to leave. They provided him with guidance and gave him money to move on, which he proceeded to spend on other things.
Michael, meanwhile, claimed he didn’t want to remain in their home, especially after they took him off the family phone plan, but he couldn’t seem to motivate out the actual door.
The story is a terrifying real-life version of the 2006 romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker. In it, McConaughey’s parents, desperate to get their grown son out of the house, hire Parker to help them do that.
But what was a hilarious premise in 2006 is all too real in 2018. The Rotondo family story is a warning to modern families with no Hollywood love story at the end. While the media lambast Michael as an “entitled millennial,” that only tells part of the story. What’s happening is an all-out failure in how we are raising boys.

SnyderTalk Comment:
Markowicz is right, as far as she goes, but she doesn’t go far enough.
We have failed to raise girls, too. We have inflicted on our society an avalanche of young women who are little more than the sluts of a bygone era. Together, the irresponsible boys and girls we’ve raised make interesting irresponsible couples.
We’re just beginning to experience the consequences of our failures. Dealing with this problem now is imperative. We aren’t very far from the point of no return. If we don’t solve this problem quickly, there will be hell to pay.
I think we are in the latter innings of a total societal breakdown. The bums we are raising will demand that we continue to support them in the manner to which they have become accustomed at taxpayers’ expense.
Already, Democrats are lining up to win their votes with promises to do just that. A large percentage of millennials hate President Trump, because he refuses to bend to their idiotic wishes. They love Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Corey Booker because they promise them anything and everything.
Many millennials have passed the point of no return. They aren’t likely to change. It’s not too late for the workers in the millennial ranks. Thankfully, there are a lot of them, but they aren’t the majority.
They say they want socialism, but they have no idea what socialism is. Maybe we should send them to Venezuela and make them live there long enough to see socialism at work.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
