My DS is 19 and a half and has no job very rarely goes to college and smokes weed and cigarettes, although where he gets the money for these I don't know. My DH and I are absolutely sick of his rude behavoir and his lack of respect. He sleeps all day and is awake all night. He invites people to stay over without asking and contributes NOTHING to our household, either financially, emotionally or physically. The thing is we have said when he leaves college in May he has to start paying board or he is out, are we doing the right thing, or will it just make him fall even further into the gutter where he seems to spend most of his time. We have a DD who is 17 and in full time work paying her way and helping out in other ways, so we have insured my car for her to drive to work, that has caused a bit of a problem as I have recently stopped paying my son's motorbike insurance as he has not done anything about getting work either PT or FT He seems to think she is the favourite and we all hate him.we give him no money at all yet he still goes out at the weekend, who is paying for this? I came home the other day and he was in the shower, he didn't know I was there and he was crying saying he feels so unwanted and everyone hates him, but he does have this attitude about him and I don't blame his peers for hating him, he acts like a troubled 15 year old, you know how they are when they are that age, but he is nearly 20 and this worries me especially if we throw him out in June, will he go the wrong way or will he grow up very quickly.
