    I’m not comparing children to horses, it’s a proverb. You’ve created a really detailed narrative around a green text (meme) that I don’t really feel like playing along with.

    PS; I am not the mother of this green text, not sure why you’re framing it like that

      Sure, let’s expand on your proverb, and use it as a methaphor. The parents are responsible for the horse needing to drink in the first place. Even though they can’t make them drink, it is still their responsibility. When it doesn’t drink, that’s on them: they caused the situation leading to that failure

      Really detailed narrative?

      The only detail necessary is that she has an adult NEET son.
