For ?

I want to express reason/cause/purpose/explanation.

"John needs money, for john paint his house".

"Joan want to stay at home, for the kid doesn't stay alone".

"Mike should be more polite, for coworkers like him more".

"You must be 18, for you be a member".

Should I use "so", sound unnatural or It just doesn't make sense ?

Thank you
