[QUOTE="Lil, post: 629190, member: 17309"] That didn't last long. He was going job hunting. We said we'd put $25 in his bank account for gas and cigarettes and he needed to not get cash, but pay at the gas station. This didn't please him. Then he started in on how he tried to sell his computer monitor at a pawn shop so he could have some money, because he's a young guy and needs money, and somehow it grew into a fight. Apparently, he's on a list at the pawn shops from when we picked up the stolen archery equipment last year. We redeemed the pawn, but it was pretty clear at the shop that he hadn't had our permission to take them. Anyway, at some point my husband left and then after a bit the boy did and I went to the job I work with my husband who was still too mad to even speak. In the end, I took a long drive. When I came home I told my son that if he was on a list it was his doing, because he chose to steal from us. Not my problem. I also told him that this is our house and if he doesn't like the rules, he can leave. Until then, he can take what we give him in the manner we give it and be freaking grateful for it. I've been more than patient for the last couple years, waiting for him to grow up and if I have to toss him out of the house with the clothes on his back to make it happen so be it. I pointed out that it was ME talking. Not his father, me. The one who has always been on his side and bent over backwards and I'm done. I told him to push me any further at his own risk. So now we're all sitting around, him in his room and us in the living room. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. [/QUOTE]
