[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 699712, member: 1963"] I wouldn't try to pin him down at all. Stay as uninvolved as possible. Again, he's a grownup. Let him make his own mistakes and suffer the consequences of those mistakes...by himself. It may interest you to know that I hadn't lived on my own (not counting several LONG deployments and a year and a half at war and then as a peacekeeper) until husband died. I moved out of my family's home and into an apt with him. Now, I prefer living alone, and the idea of living with someone else makes me gag. The idea of living with a stranger scares the heck out of me. Back on topic, I really do think your son is one who can only learn the hard way, and the only way that is going to happen is if you let it happen. Frankly, I'd be more worried about whether he's' registered to vote, than what he's doing about his lease. The former shows being able to think outside of himself and about others. (Not just those who provide companionship so he's not alone). He strikes me as very self-centered. [/QUOTE]
