[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 665067, member: 16024"] When Difficult Child lived with us the last time (as an adult) hubby had to police the computer. Difficult Child was suppose to use it to look for work but of course, the history showed that he was on all kinds of sites, none having to do with job hunting. Hub told him that from now on the computer stays in the common area, at the desk. Not two minutes later, Difficult Child took the computer to go upstairs. We both were standing there, in shock. (of course, hub made him leave it) But the point is, even though he was an adult guest in the home, he felt no need to even pretend to follow the rules. He knew the rule, knew he was on thin ice, knew we were very close to putting him out, yet he still blatantly ignored his dad's request. I cant explain his mindset. There was nothing he didn't understand about the computer rule. He just decided to ignore it. [/QUOTE]
