Don't know if my opinion is worth much, but I'm thinking that's a long list of rules and I'm wondering if you are willing to boot him out if he breaks one of the rules the first time (such as doesn't wash his dishes)?? The other thing is that 11 pm seems a bit early for an 18 yr old, but then again, you know your son and I don't. I would think midnight was OK, but that's me. A policeman once told us that nothing good happens after midnight.


Lastly, perhaps you want to write up the rules as a contract and have your son sign it. That is what we did with Angela before she left short-term drug rehab. They would not let us leave until we sat down and wrote the contract and husband, Angela, and I signed it. If I remember correctly, we were told not to list too many rules, just the biggies: no drugs, a set curfew, no physical abuse, and I can't remember what else.
