    Perhaps you could take the view that he actually has a job. It could be a helluva lot worse–he could be 19-year old without a job, living with you on your dime, and expecting you to continue to do so. Please let him figure out his path in life–not the one you want for him–but the one he navigates himself. At his age, some self-realization on his part my very well steer him back towards school, or, it may not; but at least let him find his own sense of self and worth.

    Since you didn’t speak up when he took his suitcase to his girlfriend’s room (and maybe he’s bad at picking up clues when you did so), do as others have stated. And since I doubt he’s a mind-reader, you will need to pull him aside and present it to him as a united front, “I’m sorry we weren’t clearer when you arrived, but we need you to sleep in the room we prepared for you.” If he gives you any pushback, reply, “That won’t work for us.” He can certainly have time with his girlfriend during non-sleeping hours.

    Don’t let his anger/disappointment/argument weaken your resolve. This can be a learning lesson to exert YOUR wants and needs in YOUR home. Good luck.

    And jlyfsh is correct – also unclick the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email.” Do both to be extra sure.

    I hope you don’t kill yourself. If you’re entertaining those thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.

    And, actually, we wouldn’t KNOW if you killed yourself because you wouldn’t be able to type….

    I JUST told you how to unsubscribe. Click the word “Unsubscribe” located on each thread page in the gray bar–the bar contains “Author” “Post” “Favorited|Unsubscribe”–click “Unsubscribe.”

    Well, poo, we lost at the name calling event. Should it ever become an Olympic sport, Sarah B. could be a contender; although the variety is pretty lacking–probably only get the Bronze.

    I WISH I could sue all the dweebs who piss me off! You threatened bodily harm (e.g., hope you all die, and other variations thereof) to posters of this thread.

    Actually, misspell is spelled misspell, not mispell. Your grammar is bad also; you should have typed “Actually I can spell really WELL….”

    I got groped in the walk-in at the truck stop by the chef, right next to the gravy for the shit-on-a-shingle order I had just taken. Mmmm, fun times.

    I see the maturation process is still…in process.
