Going to have to disagree with that, if he was so unruly and disobedient then kicking him out is just giving him free reign to do as he pleases, it's rare that someone in that situation comes out of it sparkling.

he came back which is him getting what he wanted. hows that any different? :confused:

FWIW i'm not a parent but i would expect board from 16 as otherwise money becomes of little value to them. some have it easy naturally because of the characters but these people would have no problems getting board should they ask for it as they've raised they're kids aptly.

as said - i'm not offering advice just a different viewpoint.
 
not sure if its been asked yet:

how on earth did any girl go near him if he rarely leaves the house and spends so long playing games?

you sure the baby is his?
 
All those that are saying kick him out.. it is easier said than done when it is your own child.

At 18 he is very young, and lets face it we all mature at different rates. Expecting a baby makes things even more difficuilt you never know when the child is born it may totally change his outlook on things.

How close is he to his gf?

No you weren't.

You were proving my point earlier that at that age (in my case after the age of about 11) nothing a parent says will make much difference, and it's all about the individuals personal choices and how they have developed at a younger age.

This guys isn't going to sort himself out unless he wants to, and until life shows him that he needs to change, he's just going to carry on doing what's easy and sit around playing while it all flies by.

If he doesn't take bringing his kid up seriously his kid will probably end up the same.
 
CBA to read the thread, tbh it would annoy me anyway because I bet it will be a heap of typical replies from a bunch typical know-it-all teenagers with "rubbish" parents :rolleyes:

Wwhy don't you just try and make things completely fair for you all;
Work out exactly how much electricity he uses as a percentage of the bill, make him pay that.
Work out his percentage of gas use, make him pay that.
Politely tell him he can't eat your food, he has to buy his own.
Work out his percentage of the mortgage, make him pay that.
If he doesn't like that he could always find his own place if he thinks it would be cheaper?

Seriously though, hope you can sort it out. When I was a youth my dad was quite harsh but he was always fair. I thought I hated him at the time but now looking back Im eternally grateful for him not being a push over or a bad parent. I might have turned out a bigger nob than I already am :D
