[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 78568, member: 3647"] Hi there cuppa. Well, I'm going to tell you what I honestly think, and you might love it or you might hate it. I think it is time for your dear boy to spread his wings and leave the nest. Well, maybe it is. I think it is time to put him to the test. What you and husband need to do is come up with rules for him to live by. Rules that are non-negotiable. Include rent and paying you for taxi service. Include housework. Include a curfew that you find acceptable. Definitely include speaking to his parents with respect. And include a no drinking or drug clause. Then, sit down with your son. Tell him that if he wants to keep living in your home, here are the rules of the house. Tell him that you understand that he is a grownup, but he is a grownup living in YOUR house, and while he is in YOUR house he will obide by YOUR rules or he will be asked to leave. If he agrees, hand him a copy of the rules and have him sign them. Keep that in a safe place. If he breaks a rule, ask him to leave. If he does not leave, or if he becomes violent, call the police and have him removed. If he does not agree to your terms, ask him to leave. He's a big boy. That will solve your problem, one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
