A friend gave their son that was loafing, leeching and refusing to be a contributing member of the family a large pack of paper plates saying "These are what you will use for anything you eat here. When these are gone, so are you!"

Kid thought they were kidding till the next meal and everyone else had stoneware and he had paper.... He got a job, submitted to drug testing , and generally became a nicer person to deal with. He had to know where the line in the sand was....

Will keep you all in our prayers during this tough time!

Draw up a contract, all parties sign it with expectations, rules and consequences clear up front. This often avoids a lot of "stuff" in the future. Maybe now since life has kicked him around a little he will be a humbler tigger. You also have the right to do random testing for "foreign substances."

Wish you the best and adding you to our prayers.
