[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 296051, member: 2459"] I like the laundrymat idea except....he would need transport, I doubt he would earn the money and I have no way of keeping him from my machines. The laundry room is actually a combo laundry room/mud room/back porch with the only other exit outside except for the front door. I can't lock it and I doubt there is any way to disable the machine short of somehow attaching a padlock to the washer/dryer themselves. And telling him no isn't an option because he won't abide by that. Even if there WAS a way to keep him from using my machines....I can see him hand washing stuff in the kitchen sink or the bath tub and making a huge mess. Yeah I know...then he would have to clean it up. Easier said than done and I could easily see future water damage (at the very least) in that scenario. *sigh* I never thought I would ever have to lock every day stuff up in my house when I had kids. (at least not beyond normal "keep the baby/toddler safe" type of things) We've even considered locking the frig and/or freezer to keep him from wasting things or gorging himself on stuff that he either didn't need or that I had plans for. It's not a feasible idea though so I limit what I can have in my own home. I really HATE living like this some days. [/QUOTE]
