Excuse me, but may I be disgusted by this ruling?

Oh, good. 'Cause I am.

That's absolutely ridiculous

[kyrielle]

Isn't it, though? Ugh. :/

Yes, you may be disgusted. And no, we won't support you. :-)

For which I'm grateful. It's not like, the way my life is, I need it. And I'd hate to be as irresponsible as the son in that article. :P

Heck, *I'm* disgusted. I'm glad my parents support me. But it's not a legally binding obligation on them. And especially if I had a trust fund which should be doing the supporting. And was estranged. And had multiple job offers and a law degree. Sheesh.

*nodnods* Yeah. Parents choosing to do it? Different. And makes a lot of sense in those cases where the person can't find work that will fully pay their way, at least for a time.

But this guy? Ummm. And the courts forcing it? Ummm, times two. Or three. Or ten.

Now that's just plain wrong.

'Nuff said.
