[QUOTE="Lil, post: 689376, member: 17309"] He just texted me that he's going to do half the lawn this morning and half "when he gets back", which usually means he's going to hop on a bus and go hang out with J. I broke the "don't ask" rule I've been trying to make and lectured him on how he should be taking a shower, brushing his teeth, putting on clean clothes and looking for work and that "hanging out" should be the LAST thing on his mind. He called. Yes, he's going to hang out with J on his break, but he plans on cleaning up, washing his hair, and looking for work. Puleeze. :unsure: He will never find work the way he looks. I'm actually tempted to use this court date against him and tell him (really, the truth) that if he has a job - two jobs even better - and looks halfway decent and walks in there contrite but having changed his ways, he's more likely to get another probation period. Meaning, cut his hair, wear clean, pressed, clothing, etc. Maybe I could get him to actually DO it. Am I actually considering manipulating him to get a bath and a decent job? [/QUOTE]
