[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 333440, member: 84"] Sounds like you're looking at the same situation we did with Travis before he headed off to college. He couldn't make enough money on his own to really afford a place to live......well, maybe he could but it would've meant some real budgeting on his part. Billy will never know if he can maintain independence if he never attempts it. I can't nudge Travis out of the nest until I see what is going to happen with college. Cuz it's stupid for him to rent an apt for just a couple of months on summer break only to go back to school. But if he doesn't continue at the 4 year college he is going to find himself nudged out of the nest fairly quickly. He hasn't done a bad job in his apartment up there and with managing his funds. Not perfect......maybe not even great, but not horrible either. He's managed to feed himself without burning the place down and actually keep it clean. (a miracle) I dunno. Maybe you 3 could sit down and come up with short term and long term goals for Billy to eventually progress into his own home. This isn't always easy with a difficult child who is comfortable living at home. I just had to come out and tell Nichole she was moving out before such and such a date and she'd better have her ducks in a row by then. If I hadn't done it that way, she'd have probably still been trying to live here at 30. lol Why not? In her opinion she had it made. ;) Hugs [/QUOTE]
