[QUOTE="Andy, post: 157747, member: 5096"] Ground from driving - does he have his own vehicle or are you "grounded" when he is gone? I have actually called easy child and told her that I am on my way to get her since she is having such a hard time leaving her friend's home. She absoultly hates it when I turn up at a friends home looking for her at any time during the day or night ("Friends don't want you at their home." "Tough, you are my daughter and where you go, I have the right to be. I will go anywhere to keep you safe.") Tell him he needs to leave anywhere at 11:30pm because he needs to be home [U][B][I]before[/I][/B][/U] 12:00. If he is leaving you without a vehicle, then he doesn't have to go anywhere with your vehicle at night. Find someway for him to earn every night he does take the vehicle.
