[QUOTE="Suz, post: 71223, member: 29"] Of course he should have a chance to prove himself...a little at a time. You've practically given him free rein. He's got money, he's got time, he's got "friends" to hang out with, he's got waaaaay too much opportunity to mess up. You have it reversed. At this point he should be working/going to school and, little by little, AS HE PROVES THAT HE IS RESPONSIBLE, he gets some money and he gets some freedom. *A little at a time* is the definition of [i]transition,[/i] not *full-tilt boogie.* As I said in my first reply...I know he doesn't have to agree to any of this. He is 18 and really can do pretty much what he wants. But he wouldn't be able to do pretty much what he wants in my home because I would have rules that he'd have to follow in order to live here. And my rules would be much more restrictive than yours. Suz [/QUOTE]
