    No, actually, I have an offspring who claims this label. They are smug about it in fact. They are not autistic, or disabled. They are goddamn lazy and content to let others take care of their every need. This is my experience with NEET. I wish them exactly what their choices in life return them. My disappointment was extremely heavy for a few years. That child had every opportunity, all the support and encouragement one could ask for. They are 25 years old now. This was their choice. I hate it for their SO who has been manipulated into accepting it and is now burdened by it. So, fuck you.

      Using a single fuck up (your child) as your sole basis on what a NEET is is hilariously foolish. Many NEETs are struggling with emotional, mental, or societal issues. Your kid? If they’re being smug, they aren’t suffering at all. That’s not a NEET (technically they are, but setting that aside), that’s a fuck up you failed to correct.
