[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 108673, member: 84"] I'd say son needs to come back home. If he can't take on the responsibility to get himself up and moving, then it really isn't fair to leave him with your Mom. Barbara is right, family usually don't really get it with difficult children even if they want to. I let my mother take Travis when he was a teen for an extended visit during the summer. Travis has always been on a strict routine because he needs it. Mom knew this, chose to ignore it. (boy has a list of dxes and she still refuses to believe he's a difficult child) Next thing I know my then 15 yr old is staying up all night long and sleeping most of the day away! My Mom got upset with HIM called ME and yelled at me for it. I told her it was time to bring him home. Personally, I could still strangle her for this. Travis' sleep pattern has been messed up every since. But I didn't even fuss at her for it. I shouldn't have let him stay when I knew she just refused to get it. At 18, your son should be able to get himself up and moving for the day. I'd buy him an alarm clock and welcome him to adulthood. (I don't worry about my adult kids sleeping patterns) Hugs [/QUOTE]
