[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 117249, member: 179"] Sue, You don't necessarily need to detach from difficult child's, it's just part of any kid learning to grow up. I stopped telling 18 year old easy child son to take a house key with him when he left. After several phone calls (*IF* he remembered to charge his cell phone) to let him into the house, I just started letting him sit outside for a couple of hours. We tried hiding a key, then he'd use it and not put it back. Latest was not putting gas in the car. I saw it was BELOW empty. I quickly switched cars. I knew he'd be in trouble the next morning for school. Yep...get this call about 10 minutes after he left. I didn't answer. Let one of his buddies bail him out, which is what ultimately happened. Bet he won't let it get that low again! Abbey [/QUOTE]
