[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 71315, member: 1835"] Suz, yeah...I get it. You're right. Well, we did talk last night about curfew and that 1:00 or 2:00 pm was much too late. He didn't argue and was in by 12:00 pm on the dot. The money was tricky because he was given a checking account and debit card while in the group home and earned the money himself which we transferred into a checking account with our bank. The rest of the money he had was from his birthday last year which was a couple of days before he was ordered into placement. I guess we felt that, since it was his money from earnings and gifts, it was his to do with as he chose. I have been tracking his account online, and so far, his purchases have basically been clothing items. He's also eating lunch and dinner out, so a lot is going there. As for work, we're planning a family meeting this evening to talk about him starting work. I was a bit surprised about how compliant he was with the earlier curfew, and I'm hoping he'll be as agreeable with beginning work on Monday, which is what we're asking. You're right, we did have it backwards... [/QUOTE]
