[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680747, member: 11791"] This is just my opinion. I would not "make him" leave home - as in, I don't think it will work between you and your wife to just simply kick him out. BUT. It is YOUR house and home we are talking about here. Which means, YOUR house, YOUR rules. Can you and your wife get on the same page as to what reasonable expectations are for anyone living at home? Such as... keeping normal hours so as to not disturb others, being OUT of the house for 6-8 hours every single day (during business hours) - he can work, look for work, attend some form of upgrading, attend AA if he wants to, go sit in the library... anything but sit around home. If he isn't working, he needs to contribute to the household in other ways - shoveling snow, cutting grass, washing windows, doing his own laundry, helping with dishes (and cooking if possible)... what are YOUR rules. Then, the reality is, NOBODY gets to say in your house if they don't live by YOUR rules. The rules need to apply to everybody equally, so don't try to prevent HIM from doing things that YOU like to do. [/QUOTE]
