Would it Be Against the Law

I agree, throw him out. Where are his parents? I have had my own grown child move back in once, and I made it perfectly clear that the same rules and cerfews were in place that were there when he was 17. I'm still the same Momma, and if ya don't like it, there's the door!

Obviously his parents aren't there for him, his Uncle is. I think its great that this guy is helping him out, rather than adding another homeless person to the streets. its prolly only temporary till the girlfriend lets him back in anyway.

You need to make it his "chore"..to mop the floor..evvvvvery day..... and i mean evvvery day. Whether he tracks mud in or not that day, he needs to mop the floors.
If he still keeps tracking in mud...he can than mop the floor twice a day.....

If he wants to act like a child..treat him like one.

I might take him in once,but after that he can pitch a tent somewhere....your backyard if you want to be generous!

I may have missed it.. but is he working?.. If he is .. is he paying any rent or contributing at all?.. If not.. give him a one time warning.. and tell him the free ride is over... he needs a job or he can move out..
if he IS paying rent.. have him sign a "rental agreement" which specifies how he is to act in your home... if he doesn't like it.. tell him to go find some place else to live

There's no excuse for him to act like a two year old.. and if he's not even paying anything towards room and board.. that just adds insult to injury

He's not only walking all over your floor; he's walking all over you. He's disrespecting you and your home. Time to toughen up and tell him he is no longer welcome to crash at your place.

Some great ideas!!He is not a bad kid, just never had parents guidance (cocktail hour was parents not him) I needed to rant I have always lived alone, now at 46 I find myself in a parents role. He is in school now, he stopped going in 6 grade. He also has a part time job. I made the same deal my parents had with us kids, free rent has long as we where in school. He does pay for car insurance, gas, school supplies and lunch. He hates alcohol because of his childhood and doesnt drink. Many believe in tough love, believe me dragging a 23 year old guy doormat shopping tough. He is very charming, I am hoping he will quickly find a new girlfriend and I go back to having clean floors. Thanks this rant made me feel much better.

Maybe you could put up a sign on the door telling him to take off his boots. Do you mean to say he was LIVING with his girlfriend... Sorry, I just think that's wrong.

 

[EweSheep]

Said that he hopes that he will find a new girlfriend...well if he treated you like that, you can be sure he would treat her the same way. She will kick his sorry butt to the curb after awhile.
