And don't just limit this to college kids. I know a family that always comes to Mama's house for meals. Mama is 80 and all of her kids are in their 50's. She still cooks for the whole crew. They have homes of their own, and jobs and families, but they always expect Mama to do the cooking. Her health is slipping. After she is gone, they will all starve in a matter of days.
