[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 332937, member: 1157"] Well, I can tell you that my rule was, once they were 18, if they weren't enrolled in school, they paid rent. That was my parents' rule, also. Once he's 18, living in your home is a privilege, not a right. My oldest, I ended up "kicking out" at 19. Youngest, ended up pregnant shortly after she turned 18 (and dropped out of school) and won a bit of a reprieve ... although she did work before and after the baby was born. As for what he does, or where he lives? That's up to him, really. If you are kind enough to let him live with you, he gets a list of rules that go with that. Otherwise, he has plenty of time to make other arrangements. [/QUOTE]
