Popular Post AndyAndyAndy Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 You have to make him financially independent at first. So make him find a job. In front of your GF you can play it as "I'm being a father to him and caring for him/raising him right". First you will start encouraging him to find a job. He sleep all day and play games on telephone. So you will come with some consequences. Start cutting him off money/sources etc. If GF doesn't like it you can always play "being responsible father". Sooner or later his life will be so unbearable that he will find a job. It usually involves in living in different city (you see 90% of working thai traveling at friday/sunday home). So he will move out as a result of finding a job. Or he will find local job and once he is financially independent it is easy to kick him out. Again you can play responsible father card with helping find him a rent apartment "so he start his new adult life" and taking him for a furniture buying trips. You can play it as ''kicking him out' and GF will make your life hell for hating her family. Or you can be responsible father figure raising her son and caring for her family who is trying to give him good start to his new life and it will be OK. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if she disapproves, she has the option to leave Its still family and not every 18 year old has to leave home. I did not leave home till i was 24 or so. I was studying and not forced to leave. Where I come from 18 does not mean you get kicked out. Also family remains family and its just stupid of the OP to think he can make his GF choose. It won't end well. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is boy studying or have job close bye? Or only use op's money. Im also have opinion if he not make any bad you can't mess up thai relation's about they family. House is family house or condo? Is other family live close ? So many question what don't know to give even little answear abut problem! Edited July 29, 2020 by 2 is 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I was happy at first. I should have known. Did take care of them for 4 years and now they are still really dear to me. They live in Europe and I live here. They come to visit me in Thailand at times. But after that first time I never wanted that to happen again so I just checked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he wants to keep his gf and just get rid of the son. That probably wont happen. To have a mother choose between a guy and her kids is not a smart choice to force upon someone. It will end with resentment. IMHO it will damage the relationship. He could try but should understand this is potentially a relation ending thing. If the risk is worth that then sure go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the owner of the house ? Or if you rent who is the tenant (I mean on the paper, i don't ask who give the money) Also can i ask your age and the GF age? Does she works ?

Popular Post VocalNeal Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) He's only 18. I didn't leave home until I was 22. As long as he has a job and is not sponging off his mom. Then maybe he needs a break? If no job and no interest in a job then he's around for a while. Unless you help him find a job or get him some training or as has been said join the army. Etc etc. Then you have to explain that you will not bankroll him anymore. Blood is thicker etc.. she'll likely pick him over you.

Certainly not in my part of the world (Netherlands). Like you said depends also if he is sponging of his mom. I was a lucky spoiled kid, parents gave me money and paid for my schooling till i was 24. All the money i made could keep for myself. So pretty lucky childhood i think. I always thought it was normal for parents to care for their kids like that. Because it was basically what i saw all around me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pookondee Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Covid is now being used by businesses all over the world, as a "get out of jail" card, a convenient excuse for no (or poor) service, and to generally shirk all responsibilities. I suggest you do the same. If you stay, and want rid of the boy, you will soon be asked to fork out for University fees, to save him from the army conscription. In any case, there will always be something you will be asked to fork out for. I reccomend you disappear and blame Covid or the Thai governments Immigration policies, otherwise all your money will disappear slowly and you have to go home anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trujillo Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 This can't be a real OP. I mean, this is like asking how to get rid of a cockroach.

He is "your" family. How about if it would be a 18 year old daughter and not a son? Would you accept her? If he f*** o** and gets together with the wrong kind of people, would you care? Or is that only your gf's problem? In case nobody told you before: In Thailand you marry the family and not just the girl. Accept it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Over a three year's together I would have thought this topic, the son's future and your living lifestyle, would have been discussed from time to time. Setting expectations, including future expectations, is part and parcel of most long-term relationships. If you haven't yet, NOW is the time to have those discussions. Don't have to consider "throwing him out" out immediately but if you both see eye-to-eye on the topic, you can make a plan to move on. If you don't see it the same, that is when you will have to consider your options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
