An ordinary story

Two Parents - a Father and a Mother - are concerned about the situation with their 27 years old Son. He graduated from university and worked for a little while, but before long, he stopped and didn’t work for 2 years. He lives at the expense of his parents - they do all the housework for him. Lazing around and computer activities fill the Son’s daily routine.

July brings the announcement from the Son to his parents that he has met “the girl of his dreams,” and they have decided to start living independently. The parents hope that things will go well for the Son and rent an apartment for him. However, after a month of living together, the girl breaks up with him, and the Son is left to live alone in the rented apartment.

After half a year of providing for the apartment, it dawns on the parents that their Son is perfectly content with his current situation and nothing has changed... Voicing his displeasure to keep financing the apartment, the Father warns the Son that the financial assistance will only persist until the end of February. The already strained relationship between Father and Son deteriorates. The Father is adamant about not allowing the Son to come back and live in their parents’ apartment, while the Mother believes in providing unwavering support until he is self-sufficient.

Pre-negotiation points:

Father: Finally deciding to cut financial ties, the Father believes it’s time to cease supporting his fully grown Son, including discontinuing rent payments, as he views him as an independent adult.

Mother: The Mother wants to persuade her husband to persist in financially assisting their son, advocating for ongoing support until he establishes financial independence and stability.

Son: The son wants to maintain the status quo and sees the current situation as liberating, allowing him to lead a lifestyle of his choosing without any obligations, thanks to the ongoing financial support from his parents.
