It looks like we maybe close to Alex's breaking point where hopefully he will really try to find a job. I think he is seeing an advantage to school. Social life.

The kid is BORED!! You can tell that he just doesn't know what to do. He is frustrated with friends and can't seem to find enough to keep himself busy.

Yesterday, I came home to a nice surprise. My two sons had layed tile in the storage room and moved Alex's bed in there. He had been talking about doing that for a while but hadn't done it yet. Now, my son has his own bedroom, a living room space and a 70's bar. lol

I was really impressed with what they had done while I was at work.

My husband joked that his rent just went up when he turns 18.
