Oh have I been there !! “Mum I need to get out of town to start a better life ” so I paid a deposit on a rural rental , helped him move , swore he wouldn’t let people know where his new place was etc . All talk to get what he wanted , his other landlord was kicking him out for unpaid rent and I fell for it again !!! 8 weeks later my friend , who’s property it was was at my door . No rent paid !!!! I rang my boy and told him if he didn’t get down to sort it out by the end of the day then I would !!! And I did . I was mortified because it had been used as a drug den for his stupid friends . I was so angry & embarrassed that I took all of his belongings to the local dump and rang him to tell him I was done with him ! No more stupid mum . That was my turning point . It took getting very very angry at his “couldn’t give a shit attitude ” . I would advice you to try very hard to say no . Walk or catch a bus !! Even if you offer him the first weeks bus fare , if he wants to take the job he will find the means to get there . Who paid you’re way at his age ??? I would imagine that no one did . Sending you best wishes !
