[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 296713, member: 1550"] If he's 19, I would consider telling him to leave home if he doesn't want to pitch in. I don't know the laws in Austrailia, but in the US, you can pack your kid's bags at 18. I wouldn't baby him at all. He's too old for that. in my opinion it's best to make him grow up. On the other hand, as long as he gets his chores done and either works, goes to school full time, and pays the rent, I wouldn't monitor how much television he watches at his age. But if he's out drinking all the time? Not on my dime. Has he ever been tested for possible Aspergers? He has A LOT of traits and that would explain why he needs you more than most kids his age would. But that doesn't excuse him from chores and work. [/QUOTE]
