[QUOTE="slsh, post: 171967, member: 8"] Thanks guys. I chewed on this while I continued on with painting this afternoon - boy, you can really think while you're mindlessly brushing away, LOL. What finally dawned on me is that if he were living at home, the answer would be no. Same rules must apply, regardless of where he lives, while he's still a minor. So, the answer is no. I feel better and at peace with that. He can do with it what he will, and I will be at peace with that too, including if he goes AWOL. When you see the fireworks over Chicago, that'll be thank you going ballistic because I'm unfair, I don't trust him, I'm ruining his life, he's not at home because of *me* so *my* rules shouldn't apply, yada yada yada. Deep breath and rhino skin at the ready. Probably wouldn't be an opportune time for me to bring up the job interview he skipped because he knew he was going to flunk the drug screen... or maybe so???? :devil: I can probably bring up diversionary topics as least as well as he can now.... I learned from the master, LOL. by the way, I just assumed it's an overnighter because it's probably at least 3 or 4 hours one way by public transportation - you can be sure I wouldn't be driving him!
