[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 447688, member: 1233"] Also turn the hot water off when he gets into the shower. STOP taking the garbage out. If you empty the can, tie the bag and ptu it in his room. If that doesn't work, he just puts it in hte hall or leaves it in his room, stop tying it shut and and put it on his BED. No. NOT kidding. Make him uncomfortable. Home is too easy for him. Signs are cute but do nothing. Time to be the creative warrior mom I know you are. Get rid of the dishes. Box them up, leave out one plate, bowl, cup, mug, fork, spoon, knife for each of you and tony. Put those in a cabinet or drawer with a lock. tell him that since he won't do the chores he doesn't get to eat there. His piddly rent doesn't cover food and maid service - he wants to eat he can go get an apt or he can start to earn the right to eat your food. or else, let him know that dishes are his to wash every single day from now on. Days he doesn't? Dishes go into his room. In a bowl, dishpan, or just loose on his bed. With all the food, nasty yuck, etc... caked on them. When he washes them he can again eat. Otherwise? get out of my kitchen and food. Trust me, fill his room with enough bags of garbage and dirty dishes and he WILL get the point. Esp if you put them on his precious computers. [/QUOTE]
