[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 366560"] Yes, MM, we try not to give him ANY money. If we do, he has to earn it, and we try to give him small denominations or reward him with use of the car, etc. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the way I figure it is that emotionally he is a child anyway, so giving him some incentive to do chores is better than him not doing chores at all, and when this class finishes in four weeks we will make him look for a part time job. Anyway, he's such a slacker that he goes around a lot of the time without a dime in his pocket, and sponges off his friends. The hope is that eventually they will get sick of him sponging off them and put pressure on him to pay his own way. We'll see what happens at the psychiatric appointment, as we sent a message to her (psychiatric doctor) that he was selling/abusing the Adderal. He is under the impression that she cannot be told, but we did as it is a matter of health, safety, and law. He will be very upset, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
