Dear Teachers,

1. I think he�s addicted to drugs. And his father has had enough of him.
- �his father has had enough of him� means �his father has stood him enough�, right?

2. He isn�t the son his father would like to have. His father expects way too much out of him.
- What does �His father expects way too much out of him� mean here?

Thanks a bunch to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. When you've had enough of someone, you are fed up; you can't take any more of him / her; you don't think you can tolerate any more of his / her nonsense.

2. His father's expectations are far too high; he is not being realistic.
