[QUOTE="nvts, post: 407639, member: 3814"] Ceecee, he knows that you have rules, limits and guidelines in your home. He was out for a week based on that fact. Now he's just trying to see how far you'll bend. You need to take control of your home. He needs to be given a deadline to move out with no retreating from it. Let him see where his choices are leading him. Once he sees where the grass (no pun intended considering that he's leaving pot around the house!) is greener, he'll most likely wise up and see that he's messing up. In this day and age, more and more people are having to move back in with Mom and Dad because of financial issues. If you don't set the standard in your home now, once you're older and more fragile, you may end up taking him back in because of a lay-off or downsizing with him thinking that he'll be the one to make the rules. Let him know now that he who pays the bills make the rules. Beth [/QUOTE]
