[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy enough. Stop paying for his phone. [/quote]

+ agree. Don't give him any money. Buy really basic groceries. For those saying "kick him out", I think that's much easier said than done. However, it is easy to make life at home boring and uncomfortable. And, if that results in him just laying on his bed all day, OP will know she is dealing with something more serious than laziness.

Agree you can't just kick him out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the means to gain employment, go to school, etc. OP, tell him he needs to get an interim job immediately, grocery store...something like that. Start giving him financial responsibilities...e.g. rent he can pay through that employment, phone bill...whatever. Make it uncomfortable but not impossible for him to pay. Also give him a timeline for something more meaningful...must be putting in school applications now with a consequence. For example, if something else isn't lined up in two months he has to move. Good luck.[/quote]
