[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 119037, member: 3626"] Okay, ladies, how about each to their own corner. I think you're getting upset about wording. From what I've seen, you're both super, caring parents. I understand Kathy's feelings that some of the worry goes away when you can't see if they're home on time or not. You worry in general that they're okay, that they're not doing stupid things, that all is well in their world, but you don't worry about their curfews, drinking, etc. because you have no idea if they're doing that or not. So, can we please let the semantics go and go back to trying help CAMom? I still stand by the unreasonableness is in allowing him to pretty much do what he wants. It is still illegal to drink at 18 in California, I believe. So, he's not working, not paying for anything (and I assume back to an allowance from you), not going to school, hanging out with his friends and having a beer or two or three when he feels like it, plus who knows what else he may be doing. I'm sorry, but I think you have a very entitled young man living with you and you're encouraging this behavior. It is time to sit him down and let him know that he either follows the few rules you have 100% or move out. You deserve at least that much. [/QUOTE]
