Two lived with us at separate times. They eventually hung their hats elsewhere when they realized that no one at our house was going to fix anything for them. I agree with Connie ... as painful and worrisome and pain in the neck ... it's sometimes better to just let them fall a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-60483669283977932122007-09-11T06:13:00.000-07:002007-09-11T06:13:00.000-07:00That situation would be just like having a child a...That situation would be just like having a child at home and I don't think I'd be ready to go back to that.

He has a basket just for his keys, loose change, pocket knives, wallet, whatever he carries with him regularly. That way he will put his stuff in the same place every time and know where it is, every time. He better get him a licence plate. I would insist on him getting a replacement right now. No since in putting it off. Then he needs to get his licence replaced. He needs to learn that losing stuff costs money...and he needs to pay for the plate and the drivers licence replacement. Before things get out of hand and you have to bail him out for having neither...would be like a snowball effect coming. I hope he gets his head on straight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-70448992965211311272007-09-12T16:18:00.000-07:002007-09-12T16:18:00.000-07:00But then you wouldn't be the doting grandmother.But then you wouldn't be the doting grandmother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-30567671456777981482007-09-13T12:04:00.000-07:002007-09-13T12:04:00.000-07:00lol..hope he finds his wallet..after he pays a cou...lol..hope he finds his wallet..after he pays a couple tickets maybe he will keep up with his stuff better.<br>He'll learn..it may take awhile but he will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-40057638304209560792007-09-15T08:27:00.000-07:002007-09-15T08:27:00.000-07:00Having some responsibility issues, are we?xoxoHaving some responsibility issues, are we?<br><br>xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-16361972537442173732007-09-16T09:05:00.000-07:002007-09-16T09:05:00.000-07:00My son has the hardest time keeping up with his wa...My son has the hardest time keeping up with his wallet!
