[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 721304, member: 1233"] I am sorry he threw a temper tantrum like a 2 year old. He sure needs to do some growing up. Why are you wanting him to move back home? He is finally out of the house, on his own, working in a good job. How long will he keep it when he is home with no real responsibilities and Mom taking care of everything? Why should he get up and go to work when he could stay home and smoke pot and chill? He has to grow up. He needs to stay out of your house. He needs to shoulder his own bills and NOT have you pay for any of his upkeep. It is a fact of life that children grow up and leave home. One that he needs to experience. You have seen that shoving him out of the house did not produce failure. It produced a son who could get dressed and go get a job. One where he succeeded! You should stay out of his drug use. Let him deal with that. Accept that the money you paid for his court fines and phone bill is money you will never see again. Don't let him come home to live. It would be a step backward in his growth and your growth. Neither of you needs that, and it won't help anything. [/QUOTE]
