[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 71102, member: 3626"] One comment: Are you out of your mind???? He's a druggie and he has free rein to money and friends he probably did drugs with before. That's a pretty heavy weight for an 18 year old. I totally disagree that he should be working for your husband. He needs to find a job on his own. He needs to get some responsibility NOW! Yes, he's 18 and this is how 18 year olds act. However, most 18 year olds aren't just off probation, they didn't spend a year or two in a total drug-induced haze and they certainly didn't the privilege of spending time on probation and being sent away from home. He's coming back and being allowed the same old life he led before he left up to and including having money to spend. Even though it is his money, he certainly owes you two quite a bit -- for the drives to see him, the hotel costs, the clothing he gave away there, etc. I'm sorry but you two are making it way too easy for him. It didn't work all too well for him before. I can't imagine it will work much better this time around. Now is when he needs to keep busy and be productive, not next semester or not month, but NOW. He needs responsibility. The easy life is not a good life for him. [/QUOTE]
