[QUOTE="slsh, post: 267696, member: 8"] Thanks for the validation! ;) Again, I'm not talking 20-somethings here, but teens - 16, 17, 18. Still in HS. difficult children to boot. I have no control over what other people allow to go on in their homes, and I have no control over difficult child's choices since he's an "adult" now. I kept my mouth shut (and have been for months). I did adamantly refuse to allow him to bring one of his girlfriend's home for an overnighter. My house, my rules, I'm not apologizing. I really do remember being a teen and I have no illusions about difficult child's activities. But it's one thing to advocate safety and responsibility, and a whole 'nother thing to allow HS-ers to cohabitate in my home. in my humble opinion. Heck, I had to be creative back in the stone ages; why take that growth experience away from difficult child???:devil2: I just thought maybe I had missed something - I used to think I was on the liberal side of things, LOL.
