[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 106876, member: 805"] I think my first question is what were the consequences you have him for the incident. Did he get some privilages taken away or was he grounded for a length of time? If the punishments that you have him have expired, you can't really keep him penned in, but nor can you allow him to participate in something where there is a high risk he's going to get in trouble. You mention that he wants to go to the movie with his girlfriend and her mother. Is the mother going to go to the movies as well? If so, I would let him go and let him know that he's to come home after the movie even if you have to go and pick him up directly when it's over. I do agree, you can't keep him in the house. You have to give him a little room to make some choices, good or bad. I understand your fear though. I think talking to him about what could happen were he to get in trouble again is definately a good thing. He needs to know that one more strike and he's out. Hopefully, it will keep him a little more grounded in the future. Sharon [/QUOTE]
