[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 589901, member: 13882"] Hi Zardo, I was wondering if there are chores or projects in the house that you could ask your son to do, rather than watch tv, etc. He'll probably give you excuses and backtalk, but at least you could make an attempt. Everyone in a family has a way to contribute, and he's no exception. He can prep/cook dinner, clean, do odd jobs, yard work, laundry, take care of pets, anything. If he balks, I'd just mention that to the PO too. You want to give him every oppty to succeed and be productive, and if he constantly undermines your efforts, you have at least tried everything. I'm sorry you're going through this. [/QUOTE]
