Like the others have said, set down some rules. Would have been nice if it could have been before, but yes, definite rules.
1. Shower daily.
2. Give him specific chores that he has to do around the house. Write them out.
3. He must go out EVERY week day and look for work.
4. No internet or computer. You know he'll just play games and waste time.
5. A definite time limit when he has to be out. September is fine.
6. A definite list of does and don'ts. If he acts like a kid then treat him like one. Lay it all out and spell out the consequences.
Where is his family? Is there not anyone in his immediate family who will take him in? There is no excuse that this man does not have a job, even if it is sweeping the floor at Wal-Mart!
Bless your heart for taking him in. We will definitely be praying for you and your family.
