[quote=Anonymous]were is he asserting that authority over you? I would have a sit down conversation during a calm(ish) time and reiterate the expectations that you have of him as a member of the family. Respect being one of them. Ask for his input but not in a negotiating way but wanting to hear from him his perspective on his behavior. Maybe he has an explanation of something going on in his life that explains some of his attitude and you need to start with we need to understand what is going on with you...before you lay down the hammer. Assuming nothing traumatic or stressful is behind it, then make it clear what you do for him as part of the family (drives, laundry, new clothes, money for x,y,z) and how those are done expecting he will do his part in return. If he doesn't, those things stop. Also as part of your asserting your authority - avoid the arguments. Make your expectations clear, the consequences for his choices clear and stick with it. [/quote]
