[QUOTE="KFld, post: 31631, member: 2442"] I don't think it would so much a question of how many friends would be allowed at a time, but what friends?? When my difficult child was living home I was very straight with him when it came to certain friends I did not allow in our home, at anytime. My difficult child was always home and his friends were always at our house, which was nice because I always knew where he was, on the other hand I thought that meant I knew what he was doing. WRONG!!!! Boy was I shocked at the things I found in his room when he moved out. I think the basement is a good idea, especially because there is only one way in or out, so he can't use it to escape when you think he's there. I would however set up rules that he has to follow, like the curfew and letting you know where he's going when he's out. Not that he'll always be where he says, unless your going to call for proof every 2 seconds, which I was never into, but I was always very strict on the curfew because I work and needed to sleep at night. The curfew to me is just simple respect whether your a easy child or a difficult child, I don't care how old you are when you live in my house. I would tell your son this is a trial. These are the rules, follow them, you can live down there permanently, break them and the basement is gone. Then stick to it. [/QUOTE]
