[QUOTE="klmno, post: 553669, member: 3699"] That would be great, DJ! You and Tony can stay with us if you want. DDD, E will turn 18 within a week of ending the semester and being graduated, although that means he has to pass all his classes he's taking now. So far so good. But some things have happened over the past few weeks and I'm not sure we can take living together much longer- it depends on if his head gets screwed back on straight or not. Right now he doesn't know if he even wants tto go to college right away. Fine- I'm all for being honest about that instead of just using it as an opportunity to get away from parents and party a college year away- it costs way too much for that. But, if he chooses not to go to college, he's going to have to get a job and if he continues disrespecting me the way he has been, he will be forced to move out. Let's just say he's had too many times lately where he's slipping back into his old ways. He still has one foot in a decent mode so I'm trying to not give up but I have my eyes wide open, too. ETA: I should add, if E is willing to get along and show basic respect, I have no problem with him living at home to go to college, or even just for the first year, in order to save him from the loans to cover his half of the cost (I've agreed to pay approximately 1/2 of a 4-yr college or all tuition and fees for a community college, but no room, board, or extras. He doesn't want to do that. I don't blame him but it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
