[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 324482, member: 84"] Star, I decided that some of us have big fat red targets (that only others can see) stamped to us. lol Travis came home dismayed because his room wasn't completely cleaned up yet cuz I ran out of time before school started and that his bed was leaning up against a wall. husband was waiting for someone other than me to help him get it downstairs and into the trash. But he had been in the car less than 30 seconds before I spelled out the house rules. NO smoking in his bedroom. NO food/drink in his bedroom. PERIOD. Or else husband would be driving him right back to his apartment at school. I've not had a problem. He's grateful he no longer has to stand in the weather and cold to smoke. lol And for his home cooked meals. BUT I have a place to put him if he can't follow rules too. Still, I'll say this is why Nichole's "bedroom" is now my livingroom. (according to original house plans) Sends a very loud clear message that they are grown up and no longer going to be a kid under your roof. Heck, even when K came to live with us she had to sleep on the couch. No way was I making one of my underage kids give up a bed to a grown kid who should've had her act together. I thank my lucky stars for the wisdom of my grandmother. I'm using it almost on a daily basis now. I think Dude is only capable of appreciating you and what you do for him when he is not living there with you. When he's home he just does his best to fall into old roles, even when you're not playing anymore. (hugs) [/QUOTE]
