What biblical advice would you give to a mother who is a widow, and a christian who has a son who is in his thirties and has never left home.
She keeps saying to me when we talk about things that she wants her son to move out of home but I don't have any advice to give her because
1) its not easy for people to set up flat these days in my town. It's not cheap
2) it seems like she would even push her son to give live with his gf, which isn't christian, because they are not married and have no plans to marry, they are not even engaged.
3) he has traveled abroad, so its not like he's disabled, he has his own business
I haven't actually met him or had a conversation with him, so I don't know what he is like but he doesn't go to church with her.
She has one other son who has married so she's got grandchildren, and I asked her if he would stay with his relatives like uncles but she says they can't take him in as they aren't well.
I just think she must learn to appreciate him while he's still with her, but I know it can be annoying I guess, primarily because he fixes up boats and leaves them all over their property, because people default on their payments.
