[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625336, member: 1550"] Once I let my daughter house sit for two days while we took my youngest two (Sonic and Jumper) to a nearby waterpark. We did have reservations for two nights. We had three dogs and a cat and her deal was she watched the animals and she didn't let any friends in the house. We were very naive, I guess. She was still living at home and had been on probation twice for drugs, but had convinced us she was no longer involved with drugs. The kids got bored after the first day so we checked out the second day and got home early to a rousing drug party. That was the day we decided she had to leave. I'm not sure I'd trust your son for so long, but you know him better than we do. This one has to be your decision. I agree with Echo that if he is ill, he needs to take care of it himself. If it is serious, sleeping in a soft bed won't help. He needs to go to a hospital or however they work it in the UK. You can't cure him. I actually think he needs to see a doctor right away. If it were my kid I'd encourage it greatly, but I also know I can not make my kids seek medical attention. Many times that is advice they simply disregard. But if your son is in as much pain as he is saying he is, I'd REALLY encourage him to get help. If not...what else can you do? [/QUOTE]
