Time for a wake-up call, grandson!

In regard to the letter from Disrespected Gran about her ungrateful grandson (YOU Say, 12 October), I strongly suggest she talks to the mother of the boy and use tough love with him.

As he’s 21 he should get a part-time job and still go to college, but it sounds as though even after college he’s not interested in making a living for himself.

Tell him he can no longer live with you and you won’t finance him in any way, shape or form.

You have to stand up for your rights because he sounds like a real scrounger. If everybody else thinks he’s a polite boy then let him go and live with them.

Why has the mother never helped you out, and why does she never see the boy? She has to get on board with you on this.

Let him go barefoot and have no food or clothes, then hopefully it won’t be too late for him to see the light and realise nothing in this world comes for free. We all have to work to get what we require. P BALDWIN. EMAIL

STo Disrespected Gran: I think you’re more concerned about what people think than setting boundaries. You’ve done your duty to your ungrateful grandson.

At 21 he’s an adult and you DON’T owe him a free tertiary education. Time to show him the door. SUE, CAPE TOWN

SDisrespected Gran, you’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty, to both your grandson and your daughter. How sad that your grandson doesn’t realise how lucky he is.

I suggest you give him a wake-up call by booting him out. See how long he lasts without your TLC.

Don’t be a doormat. You’re better than that. JACKIE, GERMISTON
