[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639642, member: 1550"] No problem. I don't think anyone should feel forced to make a child leave, although if the situation is intolerable I think it is often beneficial for both. But I also don't think anyone should refrain from making a child leave if he is scary, threatening, totally disregarding of all rules, stealing, lying, staying out all night, doing drugs and entitled. Yes, these are things many of our kids have done to get kicked out, but they all had many, many, many chances and decided they'd rather be homeless than follow reasonable rules that most kids do without even discussing them. At the very least, your home will be your castle again if he is gone. But that's a big if. Unless he harms you or steals from you or does dope in his room, I'd think hard about it and make a decision with your husband. Then talk to him, tell him why, ignore the abuse that will come from it, and give him a timetable. You can always change your mind too. Nothing is set in stone. I wanted to share that my daughter, who once did drugs but that was long ago, went to a two year culinary class at a college and is a really good chef! Guess where everyone wants to eat on holidays..haha. She did however have to put in ten hours six days a week. It's not easy. When she had a baby, she quit and is now home full time with her baby and his father. One thing for sure...this baby will grow up eating very well!!!!
