[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 631013, member: 1514"] Well obviously I never figured out how to make one leave...lol. I actually wanted to force my oldest out but Tony felt some weird sense of I really dont know what but he thought Billy would never make it on his own. I have no idea if he was right or not. It did take Billy forever to get to normal milestones such as driving, getting a job. He did go to a 2 year college and got a degree...two in fact. He just couldnt seem to get a job. His driving problem was he had such awful anxiety and that gave me awful anxiety about letting him learn to drive in one of my cars. He had a tendency to freeze up if he got nervous. Not a good thing on the road. Obviously the driving and job thing have gotten better but he hasnt been able to find another job even though he has been with Radio Shack for almost 8 years now. He hates that job. The only reason Cory is at the house is because of the baby. Tony didnt want the kids living in a bad area. Right now they are paying the bills and rent so its going okay but I dont know how much longer that will be going on. Billy is desperately trying to get a job out of this town which will leave Cory at the house alone and he cant afford to stay by himself. We shall see. But as far as rules for adult anyone living in my home (which I have had quite a bit of experience with)...well I dont have a whole lot of rules. 1. Let me know if you plan on being out all night so I wont worry about noise at the front door. 2. Let me know if you will be home for dinner. 3. Contribute to household in some manner - money, chores, etc. 4. No drugs and no parties. 5. No moving anyone in without permission. I never minded if someone brought a girlfriend/boyfriend over once they were grown. I have had several live with us. [/QUOTE]
