[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 575149, member: 15810"] Hahahaha!! That's so funny because that is EXACTLY what difficult child said to me. "Well, when I'm 18 I can buy one and there is nothing you can do about it!" My response was that if he is living in my house, he is living by my rules. If he wants to buy a BB gun, or a soft air gun, or a fire arm of any kind, once he is a legal adult there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. I CAN, however, decided what can and can not be brought into my home. If he wants a gun, he has to find another place to live. That started this argument that he starts every now and then (usually when I make a decision he is unhappy about) that it's not really "my" house. Dad is the only one who works. Since dad pays the bills it's really Dad's house and I shouldn't have a say in anything that goes on. I point out to him that if he goes by that logic then he has no say in anything, either, because he's not doing anything to pay the bills. For some reason that logic doesn't seem to apply to him.
