My son just moved back in with me a few months ago and I am having issues. He is a slob, he refuses to pick-up after himself, makes a huge mess, leaves garbage all over the place and his room is just a disgusting mess. He does work but he is addicted to the computer. This is his life. This game and nothing else. He plays from the time he gets home til bed and on weekends we hardly see him as he is playing "The World of Warcraft". He does not hang with friends and the only time he is out is when he is at work. He pays for the internet. What can I do? He is slowly driving me crazy and I am sick of the arguments about his mess and lack of respect. It is affecting my relationship with my boyfriend as he feels he is constantly picking up and cleaning after him. My 13 year old daughter hates being here because when he is not playing the game he is picking on her like crazy. Help what do I do?

It sounds like it's time for your son to get his own place since he seems to have out grown your authority and rules at YOUR house. Since he has a job I'm sure he can find a place of his own. If not, he can check the phone book for homeless shelters.

Give him an ultimatum. Tell him that unless he starts to be a little bit more conscious of his surroundings, picks up after himself, etc. then he needs to move out. He's 19 so he is an adult.. and he has a job. He can afford his own place if he wants to live like a slob. About the internet, there probably isn't anything you can do there... our youth is corrupt because of the internet and he's not the only teen addicted to crap like myspace and yahoo. At least he has a job.

let him know how you feel and if he does not cahnge give him 30 days to find another place. he is after all your child but he is still at an age where he can get the f--- out.

sit him down...explain house rules...and consequences if he fails to follow them. If he still refuses, evict him!! and stand firm by it.
