[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643712, member: 1550"] Lil, I don't really get involved in my kid's lives once they are paying their own bills. Although many of our young adults, including our PCs, have lessons to learn, there are some t hey have to learn themselves. Jumper is my prime example. This kid has truly never done anything really wrong in her life, but she has a few habits I wish she'd break which I feel will come back to bite her on the butt some day. One is that she keeps her emotions in and doesn't confide in hardly anyone. Another is that hangs onto the hurt of lost boyfriends way too long. She gives all of her heart and suffers. Even if she breaks up first, then is sorry about it and they are done. Third is she lets everyone live in her dorm room with her. Now, yes, we know her friends are not the college troublemakers, but we feel that she is in her own place, cleaning it, washing dishes, doing her laundry, taking care of her own day-to-day life...and since she is not getting into any trouble, we let her live her life and make her own decisions. I would not even be upset if one or two slightly not-as-nice kid stays there, it would not bother me. This is a long, roundabout way of saying that if he were my kid and stayed off drugs and paid his own rent, I'd let him invite people over. You won't know if he doesn't anyway. If he doesn't, well, then I can always think over my rules for my kid. But, again, this is just me. I hope it works out!! [/QUOTE]
