My apprentice has been with the boss for two months without pay, and now he wants to pay me living expenses. How can I put it?

Just tell him how bad it is to keep asking his parents for money at this age! You can do more work every day and solve the living expenses every month.

The advantage of saying this is that you will get the respect of ordinary people without relying on your parents.

He didn't have to pay it every month before, but now he has to, so you have to promise to do more. Young people will teach you more by studying hard. Think about how to do it again.
