[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 87080, member: 1835"] Karen, oh, where to start... The good news...he's MUCH more pleasant to live with. He's following our house rules fairly consistently, i.e., basically being respectful to us (watching the profanity) and our home (keeping his room clean and cleaning up after himself), no drugs or cigarette smoking in our home, and letting us know by 11:00 pm if he isn't going to be home by midnight. The neutral news is that he hasn't gotten serious about finding a job. However, I'm filing this under neutral because, once he runs out of money, which will happen this week, he knows there are no more freebies. We've told him that we will take care of his NEEDS (housing, food, basic clothing) as long as he's complying with our rules and keeps to his agreement about finding part-time work and going to school in January, but he will be responsible for taking care of his WANTS (cigarettes, brand-name clothing, fast food, and...pot). Which leads me to the bad news...pot. He's said all along, even in his group home, that he enjoys pot and will smoke an occasional joint, although he won't bring it home or come home high. So far, he's kept to that agreement. So, since my husband and I both agree that, taking everything into consideration at this moment, we aren't willing to show him the door because of his admitted pot use, I suppose we're at somewhat of an impasse as we wait to see what he'll do once his funds run out.
