[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 302023, member: 2459"] There really isn't one. It's kind of the same problem with discipline...there's nothing to tempt or take away. He's destroyed, lost or "traded" most of his things and what's left is either carap or nothing major. And anything he may want that COULD be used as a carrot is probably more expensive that I would be willing to buy. He's so bad with his belongings that I refuse to spend the money anymore....even for something like this. I know that if I do...I'd be better off lighting the money and tossing it in the wind. I even don't buy him belts anymore because of how he treats them. The last one (the one that I TOLD him was his last if it didn't make it) lasted maybe 2 days before he cut it and made a bracelet out of it. I don't think that there is really anything realistic that he would want and anything else...I won't spend the money on. And THAT stuff would be stuff I wouldn't spend the money on for a easy child either, just for the record. He does want husband's old Jeep but for one thing....he is far from getting his license. And for another...I don't want him to have it. It runs but barely, there's a big hole under the floor mat on the driver's side, it's very squirrely at any speed over 50, it needs a lot of work and I don't feel it is safe for a new driver. I wasn't comfortable with [U]husband[/U] driving it so I really don't want a teenager driving it. I may have to look into the adult ed stuff but first he needs to get going on his SSI application. He HAS to have his medications and we need to find out exactly what he qualifies for. Every time I try to call on it, I'm told his case worker is in his originating county and they can't transfer it here or I get a total run around. If that really is the case, it will be a MAJOR PITA as his originating county is known to be sub par and flat out haphazard and careless with their paperwork/responsibilities. ARGH. This all just drives me nuts. But thanks for the advice and support. I'm sure we'll get through it at some point. [/QUOTE]
