[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 529988, member: 14356"] Thank you for all the responses. Keista - I totally agree about getting to bed at a reasonable hour but he is 16 and he has to learn some responsibility for himself. If he manages to pull himself together and get to college there won't be anyone there monitoring him. Daisyface - If he misses the bus I have to drive him to school and I charge him $5 to do so - a lot of money for a kid with no allowance (because he would never do chores) and no job. I like the idea of the window alarm - I think I will look into that. I confronted him about the screen and after about a minute of silence he said he likes to go sit on the roof and think sometimes. Oh yeah. OK. I believe that. NOT. Anyway, I will talk to husband about putting an alarm on his window and see what happens from there. He went and took the screen out of hiding and put it back on the window. I double checked the kilometres on my car and thankfully he did not take it. I was surprised because I had just filled it up with gas the night before and it seemed there were more kilometres on it than there should have been but when I calculated them it was correct. So... Phew! At least I don't have to worry about that for now. I will definitely be taking my purse and keys to bed with me though - just in case - let's not tempt the boy. :) Helpangel - Hope these suggestions work for you too! I can totally relate to karma from being a bad teen myself. I wasn't horrible but I did give my mom a hard time. My dad walked around with blinders on. MWM - LOL about the pillows under the covers - I think every kid has seen that one on tv. DDD and DJ - Thanks for the tips on the car. I will try the chalk first - it's a little easier than finding the fuse but both great ideas. Just got back from a weekend away at a dance competition with easy child. We had a great time. husband stayed home with difficult child. He said it was an ok weekend although he had to bite his tongue a lot. Do you think it's ok if I insist he go to a college that's far enough away from home that he can't commute!?? LOL. [/QUOTE]
