[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 136034, member: 3626"] Yeah, I heard that a lot. I finally looked at her and gave her a choice -- follow the house rules or become an adult. If you pay half of the household expenses, then you can do what you please or you can move out and pay your own way. Good luck with your son. At least it's a typical kid thing. They really do believe that because they're now old enough to sign a contract and vote they really are adults. I'd just remind that being 18 means he can now have adult responsibilities to go with those adult rights, give him a breakdown of what his share of household expenses would be and the costs of his own apartment and then let him make the choice of what he wants to do -- stay home and follow the rules or be an adult.
