[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 71090, member: 1835"] Busy and MM, well, he hasn't broken any rules yet. He has complied with what we've asked, i.e., contacted us each evening to let us know what his plans are and has been considerate when coming in after 11:00 pm. He's keeping his room clean and sees to his own laundry. He has almost completely stopped using profanity, my pet peeve, and has generally been very pleasant. No, we aren't giving him money, although he has money that was in his account when he left added to that which he earned while in his group home. When that's gone, he's on his own, and he knows that. MM, I agree that working for his dad might not be the best idea, but, quite frankly, I don't see that lasting more than a day or two. His dad has an extremely solid work ethic and won't make exceptions simply because it is his son. I also think he'll be totally bored. However, we both feel that, his dad should give him the opportunity to join the family business, knowing the above. I really think the work arrangement with his dad will quickly die a natural death and he'll want to find a job with kids his own age as many of his friends have done. As far as drinking or pot, I've been keeping my eyes open and there are no signs of either YET... [/QUOTE]
