[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 502274"] WP -Good question. To be honest I am not sure we would have kicked our son out at age 18 if he was pleasant to have around. His behavior was disrespectful at best and he was flagrantly violating our very simple basic rules....such as taking the car in the middle of the night without permission. I think it is pretty hard to govern or control drug use away from home....however you can certainly prohibit any drugs or drug use in your home. I think it would be hard for me to kick my kid out of the house just because having him there seemed to enable him. I think i would need a more concrete reason of how his behavior affected me...we did have that and it was still hard to kick him out even with really concrete solid reasons. The more he gets into drug use the more it will get in the way of a prodctive life...so maybe for now concentrate on not enabling him in other ways....ie dont give him cash for any reason and dont pay for anything to do with his car etc. TL [/QUOTE]
