[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 440953, member: 1233"] I owuld start leaving chore lists, taking the unemployemnt and other bank cards from him (you may not be able to use them but he cannot waste the money if he doesn't have them - and if he gets another one remove a testicle for him and serve it with toast!) and access to any checks. then LOCK UP the free stuff and stuff you get from couponing. They can have access for an hour in the evening - SUPERVISED = but only if their chores are done. Don't skimp, put some heavy deep cleaning tasks on the lists and let them know that all access to everything is through you and if YOU are not happy then they will be flat out miserable. NO WAY should this be happening. My mother used those computer address labels that are on the big rolls that went in the old tractor feed printers (yes, we still have boxes because she bought a ton when those printers went out of use) and she would sit and put one chore on each label. They were left on the long sheets and she sat us each down with a piece of paper. first we got to pick which ones we wanted to do (and hoepfully avoid some we hated). the label said the chore, how long it should take someone working hard to do it, and what days of the week it was to be done. We each had to take a certain amt of chores per day or more than that amt. Dad got the least because he worked full time and had a 75 min commute each way. Then me because I was often doing a lot of errand running and working with mom, then gfgbro. Once we took what we wanted, Mom divided up the rest and if we didn't like them it was not HER problem. Once those labels were stuck to our sheets those were our chores for the semester. Period. And if they were not done to her standards? We hated life. Cause she stopped doing whatever it was we wanted. ANd then if that didn't work she started on the warpath. She was SCARY on the warpath because you had no idea what she owuld do. Locking the cat who would pee on you in the room was just the beginning. If they won't do it, try catching them asleep and putting duct tape on their armpit hairs. Talk about PAIN and NOT your fault (you would try some baby oil to loosen the adhesive, but not a guy - they just rip and scream, then put on stink stop and scream some more because it will BURN. (Yes, this happened to gfgbro too - and she also put it on his leg from the inside of the ankle up to into his private hair because he kept sleeping nude on the den floor - she told him over and over to stop and he would NOT. He also would not put even shorts on - the jerk. So he deserved it, in my opinion.) You can be far scarier than they can be. Just give them lists and make them regret not doing it. Next week spend your $20 on some locks. And take those cards away from husband. If he isn't working and he wont' do anything at home then he sure as sugar doesn't need to spend any money. [/QUOTE]
