[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 625473, member: 1550"] None of our rules were ever written down because the kids pretty much knew what we expected. It was pretty much what most parents expect of kids who are eighteen and up...we didn't ask for anything special. They knew we didn't want them bringing cigarettes or drugs here or staying out all night or engaging in illegal activities and they knew that Mom would worry her head off if they didn't check in if they'd be late. I've been none to drive all over hello and back looking for them and stopping at their friends homes, etc. to ask their parents and them if they were where they were (in a rather hysterical way)...that embarassed them so that was one they all complied with. Sonic and Jumper, who have never really broken the rules much, never had us sit down and talk to them...they just usually do what respectful adult kids do in the home. The others didn't need to know they were not following our house rules...they knew it. 36, in particular, was shocked when he was tossed out even though it was his own decision to leave and he behaved in a very erratic and often threatening way at times. He knew it was not acceptable and that it scared me, but he did it anyway. difficult children will be difficult children. [/QUOTE]
