Annoyance...

I think you need to stop ”˜parenting’ him and not be the motor behind his job activities. Nothing against helping him, but it seems to affect you negatively if he’s proving resistant to your encouragements. Stop trying to motivate him and monologue at him. It bothers you and I don’t think it’s helping. If your conversations end up going in circles or monologues cut them off. You can only bring the horse to the water
Since you started writing about him you complained about his lack of initiative, his odd spending and collecting habits etc. You are not going to change him fundamentally and he has some lessons to learn. Take him for what he is and see whether you can live with that.
