You know, I was always there to shield him from this sort of disappointment because I dealt with the day to day while he was living it up in his cushy cushy job where everything is catered for. He'd then wonder why I would get so irritated and complaining about things not working, and I would say, "Because things don't work here!" He just never got that.
I am glad he is now having to deal with the day to day all by himself, and it's a much needed lesson. Maybe he can start to develop a bit of empathy, compassion and understanding now for a change - which he needs to do!!!
