[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 645305, member: 17720"] Yes, and amen to that! Coming right out and asking would give you the opportunity to say no. Instead they let your good nature and parental instincts and...well, love and high expectations for them...do it FOR them. It's really kind of creepy, the way they just sit back and wait for you to make the decision they were hoping for. I think it's great, wonderful, that you know you don't want that. I wish I had been honest enough with myself to realize that the last time I let my son come home. I would tell him that staying with you did not work out the last time and it is not good for him or for you. If he asks why, you don't owe him an explanation. Let him figure it out. [/QUOTE]
