[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 228770, member: 3626"] Honestly, I haven't smoked in a house for over 15 years and am truly glad that I don't anymore. Yes, it was cold in the winter and wet in the summer but I set up a little bistro table and smoked under an overhang back home. Here, I smoke on the lanai. I truly don't miss smoking indoors. I take a book with me and enjoy my cigarette. Sometimes it's inconvenient but my house doesn't stink, I smoke a little less because sometimes going outside is a pain and my non-smoking friends like to visit me. It's also so much more healthy for everyone. Other ideas for Travis: he can't "play" in his room unless it is clean. If you feel you need to clean it so you can find your dishes, etc., he is charged for the cleaning. For my daughter, money was a huge incentive, even more so than computer or television time. So, I found financial fines when she got older to work far better than any other consequence. Right now, I'm working on her not taking my hygiene items without permission. She takes them, she has to buy me four of whatever item she took. If I ask her if she took them and she denies it and I then find them in her possession, it is 10 items. Amazingly, I now have deodorant and toothpaste, even when she "visits" for a week and brings nothing but the clothes on her back and a small purse. Any chance he could rent a room in someone else's home? Craigslist.org usually has some rooms for rent listing in most towns/areas. He might be more willing to follow the rules there and, if not, at least he can see your rules are not all that onerous. It might be worth a try and would be a lot cheaper than any sort of apartment arrangement. [/QUOTE]
