[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 111827, member: 1545"] Hi Nola~ My thoughts? Your son is 17. He is expressing a desire to come home. I think this is a good thing. When our daughter was your sons age, she too left home. Just a few days before Christmas actually. She mooched off friends, bounced around. Partied. Had a blast. And then came to the realization that life at home wasn't so bad. She called and asked the same question "May I come home now?" We allowed her to with the following rules (which by the way I would keep to an absolute minimum). No drinking/drugs. Agreement to submit to random urine tests. Attend school. Keep grades at a passing level or lose car privileges. Respect curfew. Midnight (she was a senior in high school). Adhere to general respect and courtesy. Keep a part time job. She did a pretty good job adhering to the above. She really did come home with a different attitude. Granted, we still had issues come up - but we figured she's a teenager. Stuff is gonna come up.
