[quote=Anonymous]You can’t force him but you can articulate the concerns that others do judge and - right or wrong - there are consequences. I remember telling my girls that two young women can ask to babysit - one with outlandish style, tattoos, and piercings while the other looked traditional. Sure the eclectic kid could be equally if not better suited, but the initial impression is the sensible kid is more trustworthy. It’s the way human nature works. If your kid projects an image of sloppy indifference, he needs to be ready for the perceptions that gives off. Make him aware of your expectations and help him come up with a plan. He may have no concept of what it will take to move out and what steps he needs to take control of for that to happen. Make sure he understands what if any safety net you’ll provide if he can’t hold a job.[/quote]
