[QUOTE="ksm, post: 697332, member: 12511"] Can you and your partner and your brother sit down and negotiate a contract of behavior and communal living? He will be an adult soon and needs to learn how to live on his own. Maybe you can phrase it as being a "roommate" agreement and not a parent/child agreement. That you need his help to form a good environment in the house. And how this will help him navigate having his own place or dealing with future roommates. One thing that we try to do is to get the cell phone or electronics out of their room by 10 on school nights, then we let them keep it on weekend nights. I think it is a good habit to get into. That your friends do not need to contact you 24/7. Can you apply for benefits since you are caring for a minor? Does the biodad pay child support? Does it go to your mom? Does he have insurance for medical care? There are some legal issues you should get answers to. I admire all that you are doing. Teens aren't easy. KSM [/QUOTE]
