[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684646, member: 17309"] Well, it's done. Son is collected and ensconced on our couch. He's verbalized that he has no intention of doing anything that would get him kicked out. There was a minor "issue" was about smoking, when I told him that "not in the house" included the garage and I didn't care if it was hailing outside. "But what if I leave the garage door open?" NO! My one "concern" thus far was when I picked up a 2-liter of soda at his request and then he told me it was a whisky mixer. We had a "discussion" about drinking. We can't say he's never seen us drink; he has. But he also can't say that we ever drink to excess or even have more than one in a blue moon; we don't. He is 21. He hasn't had an issue with liquor yet to our knowledge. If the 2 liter disappears very fast...well we'll worry then I guess. One somewhat positive note was when he asked where the closest bus stop was and, when it's further than I thought, his remark was "Well that's what I have to do". Of course, he also mentioned the car...but that he didn't think he'd be in our good graces enough to let him use it. So the hint was there...but no real expectation. He hopes to find assistance with the 1st months rent and that is a possibility through a couple of charities. He also hopes to get a job and out by May. We hope so too. [/QUOTE]
