[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 217330, member: 6271"] Have you called her parents yet? It worked for me. I called and complained in a nice way about the situation. That I wanted my son home by curfew, know where he was, and to have him in supervised homes only after dark. I insist that he is sleeping here at home. He calls and acounts for his whereabouts. WE can not threaten our children, but we can have the police exsplain things about what the deal really is: that they are living in OUR home underOUR rules and then when they acquire the skill and have the income to live independantly that they will still benifit from a parent who has been around and can be a life long sourse of advise. I often talk about the benefit of a job. The education piece is important as the primary focus and the fact is balancing school and a job and other activities is the juggle of the teen to mid twenties. So practise makes perfict. Know who his freinds are. And lock up your valuables. Just do it. No credit cards handy, know access to cash, when the driving thing is involved get a gps and just pull the priveldge when the first rule is broken, nicked, tarnished. SEt boundaries. And do not get caught up in the rolling eyeballs and huffypuffy indignation...following the rules of others is the path to responcibility and independance. It aplys in your home, others have their own, it is so in rental contracts, in dorms, with roommates,in relations with employers,and definately in jail where people who posess the golden trinkets that belong to other people learn to make their bed and follow orders as given and scrub toilets, and wash floors and work without pay IF THEY ARE WELL BEHAVED> If you think the girlfreind recieved the locket ask her parents if she has it. If you want to be diplomatic you might offer your son "misunderstood" that was not something he could give to another person. Just do not let him think that he can do as will because if you let him who are you anticipating he will gain the life skill from instead? And make a point of getting the time you deal with him separated from his younger brothers. He is being a terrible example for the younger children. I think alot of our teens ought to be taking the jobs on farms in the summertime and learning how to be directed by the work ethic. A summer shoveling out barns and feeding animals and doing work all day that works up a sweat is what our youth need. [/QUOTE]
