[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 609479, member: 16024"] Thanks for the replies! Yes, chores are a great idea. Thursday is coming and the rules are going to be tightened up. He is going to be out from 8 to 5 on weekends as well as weekdays, and chores when he gets home. He drives me crazy with his constant wandering upstairs and back downstairs, inside and out, and back again in his dirty clothes. He stank so bad when he first came here, it was obvious that he hadn't washed his clothes in weeks, maybe months. Probably hadn't washed them since he left his mom's and she wasn't doing his laundry anymore. His behavior is just so NOT NORMAL! His friends have all been moving on with their lives while he is stuck at about 12. These guys were fellow pot smokers (and who knows what else) yet they all have jobs and/or go to school, have apartments (or pay rent where they live) cars, and take care of their bathing and grooming. They have dreams and aspirations, they are working toward goals. They have futures. And they have pretty much left difficult child behind, as they are now living in the adult world, and don't have anything in common with him anymore. And these are the boys he used to feel so superior to! Pitiful. We have tried to suggest that he get mental health/depression help, but he won't hear of it. [/QUOTE]
