[QUOTE="witzend, post: 302936, member: 99"] I would have a sit down with him. What are his reasons for being late? If he's doing drugs, then lateness is a symptom not a cause. I know the desire not to turn them in, but he is in your house and he should understand that you won't collude with him to break his probation. I would explain to him that you know it's not what he wants to do right now, but it is the path he chose. He shapes up now and continues his GED while living in your home, or the next time he is late you will not wait for the meeting to report him. That will be his choice too. It's a terrible sign when they put you in the position of being the one who puts them in jail. I believe that they need to know that we support them when they are doing the right thing, and we support them when they are doing the wrong thing, too. After all, if he didn't want to chance going to jail, he wouldn't do whatever it is he is doing. How disrespectful he is of you to put you in the middle! [/QUOTE]
