[QUOTE="Origami, post: 638055, member: 18099"] MWM, you're so right about the anti-rules part of this difficult child personality. My older difficult child always stopped short of being openly disrespectful to us or the authorities, although his lying, substance abuse, and stealing were a quieter kind of disrespect. Older difficult child has a promising job interview today and another one Wednesday. We've set up a timeline for him and his family to move when he gets a job. I'm giving him 6 weeks (probably 3 paychecks) to save for rent, deposit, and utilities. Fingers are crossed that this job comes through. And yes, I know we're running out of time to push our parental rights with 17-year-old before he becomes a so-called adult. He claims he's moving out when he turns 18, but of course he has no job, money, etc. We're going to insist that he get another job, though, and I fully expect he'll have to pay some kind of fine for this offense. Luckily it's a misdemeanor, but I have no idea what the outcome will be. As belligerent as he was, the police might just show up for his court date and try to teach him a lesson. [/QUOTE]
