[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 298932, member: 1233"] Sounds like a rough day! Many of our kids are only motivated by what Fran calls "Do to Get". It is simple. In order for the kid to get what he wants/needs the kid must do what you ask. Period. Let him bluster about no rent. Let him know that no rent will equal an eviction, or whatever consequence you are willing to follow through on. Make sure the locks on the house are used and that he has no keys. NONE. Make sure the other kids will not let him in if at all possible. I am sorry he is so determined to not work. It may well be that you must evict him so he has to make his own way before he will straighten up. If you evict him there may be unpleasant scenes and he may go tell family and friends his "woe is me" tale. Prepare the ones who know him for this ahead of time. Those who would judge you for evicting him deserve to have him mooch off of them until they wise up (in my opinion). Either way, take time every day to be nice to yourself and to recharge your batteries. You deserve it! [/QUOTE]
