[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 76043, member: 1835"] Thanks, whyme. My parents are in their late 80's and early 90's and having them come check or him staying with them would simply be too much for both of them. We even considered a professional housesitter, but really want to give him a chance to prove himself. I hear you on locking stuff up--we've kept our alcohol, valuables, etc. locked up since a year or so ago. As for his state of mind, I'm quite sure that he's looking forward to having the house to himself. He's already got his Playstation hooked up the big-screen TV in the family room, preparing to "move in." He's been almost paranoid since coming home about having anyone over except for three or four old friends...he says he doesn't trust anyone because "Mom, you don't know the kind of stuff kids are into these days." He also insists that he's not told anyone that we're going to be gone since he feels what happened last year had to do with kids knowing we weren't home and thinking to party here. He's come home early every night, avoiding the party scene. So, all in all, I THINK he's got good intentions and will at least try very hard not to blow this chance. [/QUOTE]
