[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 95902, member: 1550"] LOL, Marg. I can almost hear that adorable Australian accent (well, to me it's an accent) in your posts. I allow my children's live-ins in the house. I'm not a prude. My son even lived with his father for a while (with his fiance) while they waited for their condo to be finished. My daughter has a SO and he is considered one of the family. I love him like a son. But they are RESPECTFUL of us and our rules. I didn't mean that the poster shouldn't allow her daughter's boyfriend at home because it's morally wrong (I don't believe living together is wrong). I wouldn't let him come over because of his behavior. And hers. And I agree that difficult child's tend not to grow up unless we force it. I was lucky that my daughter, even while high on drugs, always had a job (I have no clue how she did a good job, but she did) and she loved to cook and do housework so she was maybe "more ready" to straighten out once she was shown the door. However, I still believe she'd be on drugs if we hadn't made her leave and she hadn't had to experience Real Life without Mom to hold her hand (as much as I wanted to--I knew I couldn't make it better. Only she could do that). [/QUOTE]
