I've tried to find as sweet spot of enjoying the now and all of those hours of not working, while keeping an eye on the future. Of course, not everyone has that luxury, but I agree that even if you're working a ton, there's still a lot of time out there to enjoy a little life (for the most part). |

You're trying to enforce rules on a kid who will do everything in their power to get around them... and you say there's a consequence to that 9pm curfew for a minor, but then he calls one night and will be 2 minutes late... then 5 minutes late one night... then just needs to get gas. Then when you hand out a consequence, they sneak out overnight instead. Now multiply that by 10 or 20 or however many rules you need for someone to live there.... rent and one month being $50 short, another month only need another week to pay. Cleanliness/hygiene, drawing lines on respectful behavior that they'll surely walk up to and toe across..... and some excuses/trip-ups might be completely valid while most aren't, so are you enforcing every single one to the letter no matter what? It might as well be a contract that has to be followed to the letter no matter what, and the first consequence is being kicked out, no argument or questions... or else you basically need a level of enforcement on par with the military or prison. |

It sounds like the cavemen had it right, then. Granted, those two hours may have been fighting a cave bear, but then you've got the rest of the day to make petroglyphs.

Anatomically modern humans have been around for like 200,000 years or something ridiculous like that. That number goes up to about 2,500,000 years if you include our tool-making predecessors. Just to keep it simple, though, let's stick with the anatomically modern humans. We invented agriculture maybe like 15,000-ish years ago..? So you're looking at about 185,000 years of hunting and gathering. From that entire period, we have very little to show for it. Insanely high infant mortality rates, not a single cure for disease, no lasting structures or cities. It blows, but objectively speaking, the advent of agriculture which led to the specialization of labor has to be one of the greatest things that's happened for the species as a whole. |

if he violates them, evict him.

This might be the best option if you can get him to sign up.

DO NOT. I REPEAT DO NOT just sign him up for the military unless it’s 100% his choice. Don’t force him into that shit.
If he gets to basic and wants out…he’s going to **** up his life even worse. |

And they're easy. Bring them a knapped flint tool and they'll let you do things that the cro-magnon girls won't.
