[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 119067, member: 3626"] I agree that kicking a child out is not always the answer, but CAMom's son has very few rules. He needs some real consequences, I'm not sure what they would be -- cutting off his allowance, grounding him, having him move out, just something real and concrete. I said have him move out if he won't follow a very simple rule because it inconveniences him to try to open CAMom's eyes. Asking if she's being unreasonable in asking to know if her son is safe speaks volumes. To me, this is a basic parental right. My daughter knows that even at 20 I expect to know if she is going to be late. Not because she has a curfew -- she doesn't -- but because I'm entitled to sleep and not be up worrying. If she thinks my rules are unreasonable and she refuses to follow them, she is free to leave. If CAMom's son won't follow such a simple request, why should his parents support him in the style he is accustomed to? [/QUOTE]
