[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 493802, member: 1514"] If you are planning on him coming home then I think you should get a contract signed with him before he comes home that states exactly what you expect, what he understands and the consequences for when and if he breaks even one of the house rules. This needs to be signed by each and every one of you and placed in several places. He should have one, each of you should have one and one should be laminated and posted in the kitchen so he can see it daily. I wish the best for you but I tried this several times with my son and he broke our trust every time. I didnt listen to my friend and didnt write up the contract. I thought "oh, we talked it out and we all know what we said." Yeah right. He manipulated his father and I six ways from Sunday. With the contract, we could just point to it and say...you did X, here is consequence Y. At some point, consequence Y is going to have to be leaving the house. It was for us. We just couldnt put up with it anymore. Im not saying kick him to the curb with only his clothes on his back. We didnt. We helped him find a place and got him in it. [/QUOTE]
