How the hell do you get teenage boys to care?
:mindblown:
My father is a 100% disabled retired veteran who works 12 hr shifts (1 hour commute ea. way). And he's trying to raise two teenage boys on his own. Their mom is a hoodrat with no ambition and their older brother is a high school drop out whose probably in prison. Who knows?

I dont know whether to be apathetic and let them learn on their own or to be like the single mom's out here dating a man who can be a father to their kids.

My brothers are 14 & 16 and barely getting through school. They are so lazy and unmotivated but I don't blame them. They have no structure. I had to finally take out the trash that was overflowing, while they sat there playing video games.

I cant raise them, I'm only 23 and we are not even close. But it could be a thousand times worse. At least if they hit rock bottom maybe it would wake their asses up, and they would hustle but they are sheltered from it. It's like watching a car crash or a ticking time bomb.
You tried having a talk with with them. A serious one?

Gotta scare the shyt out of them into doing better. However it must it be done.

They dont listen to me, it'd would just end up being a lecture. Theyre teenagers all they say is "yea" "fine" "ok" "good" and "i dunno". We probably have to have a family meeting or something. i feel like they need a male mentor. I feel bad for them.

I start my real estate pre-licensing classes in January. 12 classes and they offer free exam prep class. It's only $61 to take the exam. I'm hoping to be licensed before Summer. That would be step 1. While all that is happening I'm going to study for the certification for this software we use at my job. I want to get that before Summer as well.

I had lunch with my daycare provider and we have become close friends over the years. When we were at lunch she told me that she would invest in me. I've shared with her some of the goals/dreams I had and she straight up said she would put money into helping me set up my own shyt. Then she said when she gets her larger center, she wanted me to do all her accounting/finance work. It's just great that someone trusts me that much and it's really motivated me to stop talking and just start doing some shyt. I have always been afraid in a sense to leave the corporate environment but now I feel I have to "step out on faith" but I will also make sure I have some money in the bank so as to not have to come back.
