[QUOTE="Suz, post: 7944, member: 29"] Like Lisa said, he IS an adult at 18 in the eyes of the law, even if he acts and has the resources of someone much younger. This is where you have to decide what you can...and can't... live with. If you can't live with him not reporting in when he will be out all night, the next time he doesn't call and is out all night pack his things and when he comes home the next time hand him his stuff and a list of shelters and/or his friends' addresses, and wish him well. If you *don't want to live with it* but find that you are and won't kick him out, then don't have this as a "rule" and don't have kicking him out as a consequence- just suck it up that he's going to come and go until he either decides to become more considerate (unlikely) or he's told to leave or it's no longer an issue for you. I know it's hard. Believe me. Suz [/QUOTE]
