[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 469748, member: 84"] Welcome to the board happysquid ODD is not usually a stand alone diagnosis. So you're probably dealing with more than just ODD. Once your son becomes an adult, living in your home becomes a privilege, not a right. So if he refuses to comply with house rules, then it is time for him to leave when he turns 18. Does that mean you don't love him or care about him? Heck no. It means that it's your house and your rules. You have a right to peace in your home. Your daughter has a right to peace in her home. Does it make you a bad parent or a failure? Nope, not even close. And odds are once that 18th birthday rolls around, he's going to get worse because he'll start suffering from a major case of grownupitis where he's grown so you can't tell him what to do anymore while he stays home and continues to act like a kid. Many of our kids need a healthy dose of reality to make them appreciate just how good living at home can be. Many of our kids have to learn life lessons the hard way in order to finish growing up and maturing. I'm glad you found us. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
