[QUOTE="Scooby, post: 207225, member: 6155"] My son is just 17- but he cannot "stay within the lines" unless he is on probation, or waiting to get out of trouble. If he doesnt have some sort of legal pressure on him, he can not stay out of trouble. There is no sense to be made of it. I only know, that I don't think mine will make it to 18 in this house -he used to have a cell within our plan -it had limitations though -but no worries... it was confiscated when he was arrested for selling drugs... so... now he buys his own phones/minutes and Jimmy Cracks Corn. I waffle back and forth between wanting to hang on as long as I can and utilize every minute of his minor age to parent him and provide him with tools ....before he's gone - but the other part of me.. just wants out. It will feel like death... I'm not convinced I'll survive it... but I'm pretty sure -I can't live like this much longer either. If we want them to stan on their own -we have to let go. [/QUOTE]
