((Sanityseeker)) - I know very well that parent/child struggle and the unrelenting pull. You might want to try the garbage bag trick. When he's at school, put everything that's out of place in a garbage bag(even if it's obvious garbage, lump it all together), then remove all pleasurable things like a computer, CD player etc. Hide the garbage bag and then wait for a response. When he asks where his stuff is - hand him the bag and say " you'll get your pleasure items back, when everything in the bag in put in the 'proper' spot. I would even not give back the computer until he's kept it clean for a few days.
