[QUOTE="Jonbaldbg, post: 700683, member: 20903"] Let me clarify a few things. The comment to him about spending the rest of his money on cigarettes, energy drinks and other essentials was pure sarcasm. We've talked priorities before and it does not goo. We've tried setting up the regulations you mentioned and none of them work. He does not comply. I gave him the gas money so he could get to work for now. He applied yesterday for a much better job and hopefully he will get it, But, the money for gas is a stopgap. I am out of town next week and I promised my wife I would not take any drastic actions until after I return. This way she is not left alone to deal with him. The car is his and part of our living arrangements was that he pay that, his cell bill, and pay down money on loans he has from us. He hasn't been able to get enough hours out of his employer to do that and it is not a good employment situation. But, I have advised him for weeks to find another job with additional hours or replace the job he has with a suitable job. He has made minor efforts at that, hasn't tried very hard. This most recent job may work out. Hopefully. It would be a good fit for him and he would do a good job in that role. But anyway, when reading my comments, keep in mind we are intentionally in "status quo" mode until I return from my trip. However, the emotional strain felt by all is not status quo. It's pretty bad. I just can't take the next step until I get back. [/QUOTE]
