[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 54160, member: 1436"] I can honestly say that after raising a easy child and a difficult child that allowing for age appropriate mistakes is the only way, in my humble opinion, to insure that they do mature into well-adjusted adults able to make decisions for themselves. Holding a child back, holding past actions against them, will only make them rebel against rules that no long "fit" them. I've see good kids go down scary paths once they are out from under "unreasonable" rules. I've seen bad kids blossom when they were responsible for their own lives. Mybe the four of you can sit down for dinner in neutral territory and map out a plan--- [/QUOTE]
