[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 569680, member: 1514"] So sorry about the closing on the condo. You really are good parents on buying him the condo. Wish I was in a position to do that for my kid. Heck both my kids that have what I call failure to launch syndrome...lol. My youngest tries hard but has a really hard time finding places he can afford for very long on his own and my oldest simply doesnt seem able to leave the nest. Im surprised your difficult child is sleeping so much on wellbutrin because it tends to be one of the medications that wake you up. He may be drinking more than you know. Or his insomnia is worse than you know. I have bad insomnia and I really hate it when people, even doctors, think you can fix it with these sleep exercises. I have tried them for years and they dont work. Do people think I want to be this way for pete's sake? Right now I can go to sleep at a normal time but I wake up around 2:30 am or so and I cant get back to sleep to save my life no matter how tired I am until about 6 to 7 am. Telling me to just get up at 7 and stay up is fruitless. I have tried and it will still happen. Oh more to your post...lol. Sorry, I fell asleep while answering you! I do think you need to swallow up how very irritating he is down in the basement now and let him learn to get up on his own. You might want to give him the most obnoxious alarm clock you can find for Xmas. I hear they have some you have to get up and chase around the room to turn them off. While that might tee him off, it would probably wake him up. This is especially important if he has to be at work daily. It does sound like he works for a place where his hours are flexible. Or could be. Not sure exactly what he does but could his schedule be changed to maybe noon till 8 instead of an earlier time frame? I do realize you said he was coming home earlier but maybe if he was given a later start time he would do better or even put on a shorter work week like 4 10 days so he had 3 days off. If all that doesnt work, could he possibly go on disability and then work part time for your brother to supplement his disability income. [/QUOTE]
