[QUOTE="ML, post: 267925"] We've made it too easy on stepson J. He has no incentive. We made the rent just enough to cover food. I agreed to this because he's unemployed and wants to save his money to go back to college. I support that (literally I guess lol). So I think he socks away 800 to a grand a month but I do see him researching the course catalogues and making apts with guidance counselors. He keeps changing his mind daily about what he really wants. But if he's in motion in a forward direction that's enough to keep me off his back. He still sleeps most of the day. He has a job to finish upstairs, the trim to the pergo floor he put in a year ago, the wood pieces are still in the hall for it. I need to ask husband to ask him to finish it. I don't like to be the one to tell him to do things, it's not comfortable for me. I know that's my issue and probably need to work on it. He's not really any trouble EXCEPT that he hurts manster's feelings quite often but manster does need to learn how to deal with conflict. I don't know. I don't mind him here for now but I don't want it to be forever, ya know? Again, I much prefer husband to set boundaries. The problem is he *doesn't*. I don't know what or if I'm really asking anything. Just needed to "talk" and if anyone is inspired to comment please do; but no pressure. Hope everyone has a great day! ML [/QUOTE]
