[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690854, member: 19951"] My Grandma who raised me was a very wise woman who lived and survived the depression. She raised 5 kids while my grandpa was overseas in the war. She told me, there is never any excuse to be dirty, even if you are poor. Soap and water is cheap. She told me always make sure I have clean underwear on in case I get in accident and have a dime for a payphone, always. Personally, Make him eat off paper plates- not allowed to use the dishes. I would also strip out his room, giving him a sleeping bag and a pillow. He would have to earn things back. I would also take the door off his bedroom. Make life so miserable there he will want to move out FAST. Yes, everyone has roadblocks and difficulties in their life. I think about children who experience severe child abuse, orphans, kids who reside in orphanages( like my sister and I). I think about those kids shuffled from foster home to foster home; lot of people make it through rough times, obstacles, without anyone "teachin'g" them all the necessary skills. They get it somehow. Some of it is just common sense. Oh going in person to apply for a job? I probably should do personal hygiene and wear clean set of clothes. It's not rocket science. [/QUOTE]
