"super" child

Hot on the heels of the 'super' parenting thread comes the obverse:

New York parents win legal battle to evict son, 30 - BBC News

Seems like Michael Rotondo, the 30 year old, unemployed, 'super' child whom pays no rent and does no household work, ignored the formal letters from Mom & Dad to vacate the house so they took him to court. The Wonder Boy, who represented himself in court, demanded 6-months notice before he would leave which the judge found to be unacceptable and told him to get out. Of course, Wonder Boy did not think the supreme court justice that heard the case did not read the case properly and will be appealing. It would appear that WB has a very healthy ego if nothing else.

My favorite part is Mom & Dad gave him $1100 to help with moving expenses which Wonder Boy spent it on "expenses" saying "I had to spend it and I'm not sorry about it" and "my business is my business". How is it possible to be nearly 31 years old and have personal business when you do nothing to support yourself?

Of course there is "super" parent overlap as there is a discussion to be had of parental enabling and how much is too much. In my mind, while they allowed more than I ever would, at least they did finally gather their stones enough to toss out the bum.
