Sounds like he was looking for a handout, not a hand, to misquote the UNCF. Some folks will nevah evah be grateful and will think that if you don't give your last to them you are selfish, etc.
I have a 40 something year old cousin like that who is currently not speaking to his mother because she told him that if he could not contribute to the expenses of the household he would have to leave. Mind you, his mother (my aunt) is taking care of HIS 13 year old daughter, he lives with her as well, works full time and feels like he has done something if he brings a galllon of milk in the house
