Suggesting the son apply for subsidized housing isn't any different than parents making sure their children are on SSI, medicaid or some other form of government assistence before they turn 18 for things like aspergers, etc..

It takes a lifetime to grow up if mom keeps wiping noses.

Note that all it takes is for the child to provide her bank account number in order for the Mom to make the online transfer. The only way the child can block it (she asked the bank) is to close the account. Seems rather drastic gesture, as this same bank account is the one where she receives her payroll and has been in good standing with the bank for years.
I'm confused. If mom is fed up, why is mom still washing child's clothes? Mom is being a tad contradictory here.

If child doesn't want mom's money then child writes mom a check. If mom doesn't want to support child then mom ceases to put money in child's bank account.

If child is capable of earning a living then child should do so and not take money from mom nor apply for subsidized housing.

Child needs to start acting like Adult, Mom needs to grow a Pair.

Just tell your parents to butt out, and stop taking their money. In short, be an adult.

I mean, this IS about your folks, isn't it?
