[QUOTE="SingleDad47, post: 556281, member: 15353"] Well we sat down and talked last night for probably 2 hours. I got myself ready mentally so I would be able to continually tell myself to remain calm and not get overly mad. After all the talk, how he was going to change around the house, consequences if he got caught...etc...the only thing he kept saying was "everyone does it" and "i dont see what the big deal is"....... He did mention a few times that he is nearly 20 and should be able to make his own decisions. I told him anytime he wanted to he could pack his bags, go find his own place to live, pay his own way and then he could make all his decisions.......I said in this house I will not tolerate.......Then when I ended the conversation as tempers were on the verge of really flaring up (on both sides), he is not sure whether or not I was kicking him out. I left the den and went to my room; when I came out about an hour later he was just sitting there kind of staring not really knowing what to do. I just left it like that so he could think about it over night....... Not really sure what to do next... [/QUOTE]
