Therefore, you should start with SMALL things, such as “you need to be up and out of bed before 9 am each morning or you will not have gas money for one month”
Both his mother and i work so there is no way to regulate this and reguardless my wife will give him money anyways.
then..
Move on to bigger things, such as “you will be actively looking for a job (and here you need to tell what kind of ‘proof’ is sufficient~maybe a certain number of applications completed laying on the dining room table/a certain number of phone calls per week offering interviews…etc…) or your mother will not pay your insurance for a six month period”
He will just lies to his mother and 6 months later he says how he needs his car to go look for work.. and its been on and on like that for years. - written 5 months, 2 weeks ago
thanks for all the great advice so far, I want to add in some more information on the situation, the step child is a middle child, his older brother works and is a normal positive member of society, however his younger sister is just entering highschool and i dont know how his lifestyle will influence her in life. Also these are all my step children. - written 5 months, 2 weeks ago
