[QUOTE="Witzend_Away, post: 8647, member: 3390"] Did he have rules when he moved back in with you? Like, go to school, pay rent, keep a job, etc... If so, is he living up to the rules? I mean, too bad so sad that he broke his foot, but he's 21, not 12. He should know better than to do something so stupid as pull a wheelie. It was his choice. [ QUOTE ] Except everything causes financial problems............... [/ QUOTE ] Financial problems for him, not you. Hopefully you guys had some sort of agreement about expectations when he moved in with you. Tell him he's not living up to his end of the bargain and he has until February to implement a new plan with you or move. If he's got too much pride to come up with something that is agreeable to you, that's his problem too. Someone will put him up for a while. I know that it hurts financially to make the student loan payment if he isn't going to school, but you'd be paying it if he were, as well. There's no reason to throw away good money after bad. Let [i]him[/i] figure it out. That's where the lesson learned will be. [/QUOTE]
