[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 33426, member: 3485"] Sorry to hear it, Mikey. Say, how [i]did[/i] he get home? I think you're doing the right thing. [img]:bravo:[/img] In fact IIWM I'd go further and restrict him to the house except for work and school, and forget about the prom (it's only the jr. prom anyway, isn't it?) -- prom night is practically a pre-ordained disaster... but that's me, maybe I'm too quick to counsel bringing in the heavy artillery.* Anyhow you have to decide what's right for your situation. Best of luck and I'm pulling for you, hope that your difficult child sees the light. *You know I'm a big advocate of the tough love approach. A lady posted about some problems with her adult daughter today and I went into my spiel. It was not just me, and I happen to think I was right, but anyhow the lady appeared to not care for the trend of advice she was getting and withdrew her posts. My standard "don't let the door hit 'em" approach may be too heavy-handed, especially for the newbies who may be more in need of sympathy and less in need of being told what they oughta do on their first post.
