[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 147896, member: 3647"] Wow, why is he not working? He is completely taking advantage of the situation. It sounds like you have allowed him to become very comfortable doing as he pleases. And an allowance on top of it? No way that would fly in my house. At age 18, the kid works or there is the door. If there are extenuating circumstances, there is still no allowance for chores...you do chores for the priviledge of staying in my house rent free! I'd take that cell phone away yesterday, too. A kid over 18 would have to earn minutes on the cell phone in my house. Of course you feel taken advantage of. I would suggest that you tell him it is time to find a job and start paying rent and for his own phone. He seems to feel like it is his right to go friend hopping as he wishes. 18 or not, that is your home and your rules. He needs to earn the right to do such things. [/QUOTE]
