My son wants to move out and he thinks that having a job, paying for his car and insurance is enough. His job is only part-time and barely covers these expenses. What is the true definition of "responsiblility"?

Dublin- Yeah, I thought about that. I just didn't want him to sign a lease that he couldn't get out of.

Responsibility to me is being able to recognize what needs to be done and doing it or recognizing what does not need to be done and not doing it. Responsibility is facing obstacles that are thrown at you even if you don't know exactly what to do. Responsibility is facing up to your problems and being mature enough to be an adult.

Knowing and understanding your obligations and doing whatever it takes to meet them. (Financially, emotionally, and spiritually)
You can Start charging him for rent to live with you. Make it something he would have to pay on his own, and make him pay for his own food and his part of the utilities. If he can't afford to pay you, then He's not ready to leave the nest. If he is unwilling, then he is also not mature enough to go alone yet. If your both willing to take the test and he passes then I would help him look for an apartment. It could be a learning experience for both of you. You would be able to see if he can handle it along with him.
Then you won't have to worry so much when he actually does move out. I would do it for at least 6 months to make sure he can handle himself.
(if you don't want to use the money for your household, put it in a savings for a suprise when he does move, so he has the money for the things he's going to need on his own, like dishes and furniture ect...........)

Well when you think about it there is no true definition of responisibility it goes further than just being able to monitor yourself financially, I guess him wanting to move out is already a sign of independence and wanting to be responsible. So he must have thought of the bills unless he thinks you still gonna take care of him while he lives on his own. Anyways Give him a clear picture of what it will be out there and se if he still wanna go.

Responsibility is standing on his own feet, accepting challenges and making the right decisions.
