== == Close the door, change the locks, and let him/her find out how tough it is out there. A few weeks of living on the street will make or break the kid's tough guy attitude. Don't relent. Don't let other family do it either. Let the kid find out about street shelters, and soup kitchens, and all of a sudden living at home will be more inviting. Make sure that if and when they "come home" it with a signed contract that sets out EXACTLY how things will be, and their RESPONSIBILITIES at home. No more sleeping in, no more late nights, and no more taking YOU for granted, either. Job first, and keep working, and then get him'/her into a "life skills" program to learn how to cook, how to clean , and how to how to wash clothes and how to SAVE MONEY, to get their own place to live, to become a ADULT. You have to be one, why not him/her?
