[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Good points, but how would you do that?  If I tell him to clean his room, but he doesn't?  I am not going to take away his car or computer, since he needs it for classes.  I talk to him about going to bed at reasonable time and he says "sure" but stays up.  How would you enforce those rules?  I like the point about not paying for college unless he improves his lifestyle.  But will I really not let him go to college because he cannot keep his room clean?  I do think education is important. And if we kick him out and force him to get a job and live on his own without college degree.. would you really do that to your kid because of dirty room and bad habits? He doesn't drink or do drugs.  He doesn't bring people over at night. His girlfriend is in college at a different state.  [/quote]

Charge him rent. Keep raising the rent each month until it's cheaper for him to live elsewhere. You think education is important but he's skipping classes to sleep because he didn't sleep at night because he was playing games. That's not very adult-like. [/quote]
