[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 71785, member: 696"] You and husband might start a time line of your expectations and goals for the future. Things like from now until school starts in January he's got to be working/volunteering 40hrs/week. Once school starts, he does school/work 40hrs/wk. His paycheck could be divided into 50% going towards rent and insurance, 25% for savings and he gets the other 25%. You might try a midnight curfew for 6mo then it could be 12:30. Give him the boundries with no negotiations for 90days. If he keeps within the boundries then you can consider negotiating on one thing at a time, with the goal being full independence. A family who used to live next door to us had a a great chore schedule. It consisted of garbage, laundry, yard, dishes, pets, bathrooms, vacuuming, dishwasher. There were 4 people in their family. Every person had two chores and they were rotated every week so every member of the family learned to do them and everyone did them. [/QUOTE]
