Stepson refuses to sign on. When asked by his mother why he won't sign on he say's it is none of her business despite the fact he has not worked for over 12 months and makes no attempt to get a job. She is the one that is keeping him but will not do anything about it. The youth is a complete waste of space. 25 years of age etc

I am tering my hair in despair. I want to go in to his room and knock the stuffing out him and throw him out but the trouble it will cause between me and the Mrs isn't worth it. For politness I have kept this clean. Not my house also so there is nothing I can do. I would rather the Mrs not tell me about his response and attitude as it just enrages me.

As long as your wife funds him and puts a roof over his head he doesnt need to work,she needs to stop giving him cash so he has to either sign on or get a job.

Can understand your frustrations.

He lied to his bank telling them he was still working and so they gave him a £1000 overdraft he has now more-or-less spent.

I don't think you can be classed as a youth at 25!!

Anyway, can't his biological father have a word on behalf of his mum? Or he is he a dole scrounger?

He's an ass and considers his son's actions non of his business. In any event if I sort his son he will attempt to sort me- this kind of rubbish. Don't get me wrong I would flatten him but this acheive nothing.

He is too lazy. He even used to run away from school quite simply because he didn't think he should go.

Unfortunately it is the wife's house. My hands are tied. I don't necessarily want him to sign on. I'd much rather him get a job for his sake and also to contribute. But what can you do with someone who has the mentality to run away from everything you don't like or want to do? Since I am allowed no active involvment I am simply going to tell the Mrs her son, her problem don't involve me unless you want something serious doing concerning this.
