I believe the term you are looking for is "mythomaniac", friend.

Yeah, I have a similar problem. My eldest brother, 32 this year, has no job, no money, no life whatsoever. It's not that he's a big spender, it's just that he can't handle money and he just doesn't want to work. When he's hungry, he usually justs walks over to our mom's house and gets some free food. This is annoying the hell out of me. It would have been ok if he would come over for the company, but he rarely comes for anything other than the food itself. It's not that he can't afford food for himself, it's just that he knows that he can get it for free, not to mention "done", as in cooked, at my mom's. And he NEVER, EVER, cleans his plate afterwards. He just leaves it as it is, on the table. At one time, he even asked mom why she hadn't made dinner, and had the nerve of bitching about it! I just want to smack him over the face sometimes, but I can't, since he's my brother. I don't hate him, I just can't stand the way he is sometimes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It works in theory, but I'm afraid it's a LOT easier said than done. If it would be me, right now, I'd do it in a blink of an eye, but convincing your parents to do it is a whole different story all in itself. Believe me, I've tried... and I'm still trying.

How ya doing, buddy?
