[QUOTE="Lil, post: 635952, member: 17309"] Thank you both. I agree. In our house, there's no privacy. In our car there's no privacy. If we start thinking he's doing something in our home we don't approve of...we'll snoop. End of story. The out all night thing, well I guess you could say that IS a rule of the house. We told him he's an adult and he doesn't have a curfew and if he stays out then so be it. But not with our car and tell us so we don't wake up and wonder if something's happened to him. I don't mind him staying out. Of course I would mind if my husband did too. :) Realistically, since June, he's stayed out exactly twice and I knew he was at a friend's house. It's not like that happens all the time folks. He spent the night way (with permission of course) more when he was in high school...and his friends stayed here. When they were minors I made them call their parents. Drove them nuts because most of them had the kind of parents who really didn't care. How awful is that? But now he's not allowed to have people over without several days advance notice and realistically, he just doesn't have people over. Usually he goes to bed before us. I guess he didn't get fired. He says he has to be at work at 6 and he's way too lazy to get up at 5 a.m. just to maintain the illusion. He'd have at least told us his hours were back to 7-3:30 and overtime had ended. In fact, he's home now and asked if I would make sure he's up so there's not a repeat of Friday where he fell asleep again. Again, I don't mind doing that until he's used to the new hours. I can go back to sleep for an hour after he leaves. So that's were we stand now. No, I don't believe him 90% of the time. He's so much like his biodad. Telling me enough bad stuff that's true so that the good stuff seems more honest. It is exhausting living with someone you can't trust, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
