Its obvious you're being taking advantage of. Now the big question is what are you going to do? You have a legal adult stealing from you and not holding up his end of the verbal contract. It's time for some serious attitude overall. You need to let him know life isn't all about games and television; and without goals or dreams he's going nowhere and will end up on the streets or in jail. Help him set some goals, and if you haven't told him yet let him know his attitude is bringing you to your last straw and you can't take much more of it. He either needs to hop aboard the responsibilty train or choose somewhere else to live because you can't continue to provide him with everything he wants and needs when he can't even pick up after himself. If you guys can sit down and list several goals he can obtain (Short term and long term) and he promises to give 110% effort to obtain them let him stay and help him become a better citizen. If this is another failed attempt to better him, you should SERIOUSLY consider his behavior out of your controll and give him a month or two to leave. People can only be helped if they want it, B just might be a case of someone who doesn't want help, and if thats the case my advice is cut your loses short and let this adult be an adult and handle his own problems, you gave it your best efforts and that's all you can do.
