[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 488004"] The ipod is not even on the table When he was inpatient he was not allowed to have anything that connected to the internet so we did get him an ipod shuffle... which had lots of room for songs. He also had (but was not allowed to use) and old ipod touch whose screen was cracked up. So I am not sure which he has lost or if both.... he has not mentioned or suggested that we get him an ipod. I think he knows that is out of the question. And it is, there is no way I am replacing that, losing that is the consequence of his own bad actions. I did talk to the sober house guy today which was helpful. He actually manages the regular sober house (vs for the guys out of detox) so hasn't seen my son much. His drug tests were clean actually but he has not pushed to go early to the regular sober house so they have kept him at the more restricted one which is good I think. Anyway I think I am going to get my son two gift cards for Sears. One from us for clothes. And one from the grandparents to buy a bike. The guy said that you can get pretty cheap bikes at Sears and all he needs is something to get around on. I looked online and you can get one for a little over $100 which is about the amount he should get for Xmas money from the grandparents. So I am going to suggest to my dad that isi what we do as I certainly don't want him just getting a check. i need to check with Sears to see if you can turn a gift card in for cash... if so that is a problem but may be a risk I will have to take. I just hate the thought of shopping for his clothes, having to ship them down and I really think a 20 year old would rather pick his own clothes than have his mom do it. (And I am find with that as my husband's mother still tries to give him clothes and they are awful. lol) It sounds like difficult child has been doing ok really. We haven't been getting any complaints which is good, He should be moving over to the regular sober house this week and then time will tell how he does in a less restricted environment. TL [/QUOTE]
