Juli is not hispanic.
She has a tan so she must be Mexican.
Juli is not hispanic.
Start charging him rent.
you may not be his parent but does he not live under your roof?
honestly sounds like he doesn't need a friend, brotato, he needs a father figure to kick his ass into gear. I understand if juli feels differently but if you have a hand in financially supporting him - feeding and housing him - then you do have a say in what time he gets up in the morning
how about working at a bike shop? best way to get into competitions is to be involved in the scene as often as possible and knowing how to build and repair his bike can only help him be a better competitor
If he was older, I would totally agree. I don't think tough love is going to work on an already apparently fragile (antisocial, depressed, etc) person. He might toughen up. But he is just as likely to completely collapse.
I was in space at 17.
he's 17, he's a kid. most teens wake up at noonish.
from what I know about him, he's had issues with his father, cut him some slack. GRANDPA LIAM!
you're not running a concentration camp...you are running a home.. this is the norm...also. im sure he will snap out of it soon. try to encourage him, be his pal, get in his head, get him to come and do some chores with you or take him to a hockey game or whatever you are into... include him... clearly he needs some love and support, not a drill Sargent, that will only make shit worse.
have some faith in him. work together with Juli to get him out of his funk.
i love how everyone in this thread has already labeled him a lazy stoner with no future.
liam, he's depressed. dont look at this so much as laziness as much as a cry for help. TRUST ME... i know about mental issues.
i think it starts with really small things...
also, remember, he left ohio... all his friends.. his whole life. he's a kid. your buddies are your life at 16.

The boy is bored and lost right now. He isn't stupid or crazy, just shiftless. He needs purpose. You know what could give him that purpose? The Marine Corps.
close enoughJuli is not hispanic.
I do tell Juli I don't want him lounging around doing nothing. I am always talking to her about this. I'm trying to give him some time to turn things around as well as Juli time to turn things around. I want to wait until all else has failed before I interject myself into the situation, because when I do, it ain't gonna be pretty..

He's a stoner and a regular 17 year old boy.
How in the hell is Juli old enough to have a 17 year old son? She's too hot for that. A total MILF.
I KNOW he's depressed, but this is now something I feel he can make better by getting up and realizing that his life is HIS for the making.
He's had no responsiblity thrown at him until now! It's fucking making me angry just to type this and know he's in the other room.
I know he hates himself right now, but I can't baby him anymore. He's got to physically help himself, not pill pop himself.
Well what kinda shit makes him happy? He should consider trying to learn a trade that allows him to do what he likes.
If the only thing he likes to do is sleep and eat your food, take him out back and put one behind the ear.
(I hope Juli reads this thread.)
