[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 189225"] I can tell you our son messed up in a major way re: his cell and we took it away. He got a pt job and paid for his own phone and has been doing so ever since. As far as I know, we are the ONLY family around my neck of the woods who has an adult child in college who has done this successfully. I can also tell you that (knock on wood, crossing myself and thank G-d daily) it paid off very well for us, because it was the beginning of him assuming adult responsibility. Seems having a cell phone is a life line...a super powerful motivator. Take time for yourself...seems like you have some extra stressors at the moment. However, personally...I think your thinking is sound with- reference to this stuff (and a heck of a lot more!!!!) Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
