I just answered the original question. It was easy to do because I don't have a son and I have no chance of having one in the future.

One can be a good father and teach his son to become a man. Sometimes the job isn't complete by the time your son leaves your home to go to college at 18 years old. Maybe he has not quite become that man that you were trying to teach him to be, if so, it wouldn't hurt to hand him off to someone you know will watch out for him, make him do well in school (or not let him play) and truly care about his future while he is no longer in your home.

I grew up with tough love from my Dad and my life has been pretty good. As Hooves and I discussed in the past, the kids today (18-25 yrs old) that come into my place of work looking for a job are unbelievably lazy, have zero tolerance for any constructive criticism and want more more more without giving anything in return.
