[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 469296, member: 1514"] Well...this is sort of my situation with my oldest except my oldest is pretty darned lazy around the house. Mine could walk around a pile of trash and ignore it for weeks. The trash can piles up and up and up and the mere thought of taking it out never enters his mind! Your son is 18, doesnt have his GED yet. I think I would attempt to entice him into that first. Maybe offer some sort of small reward...carrot and stick method. Whatever his likes are, use those to your advantage. If he gets the GED, he gets something he wants...not grand but you know..maybe a video game or whatever. If he wont go, then cut his world down a bit. I dont think you need to bring in the big guns yet. Just gentle nudging for now. [/QUOTE]
