[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 241079, member: 6271"] wyntergrace: I am with you. I certainly do not want to have my son playing the cad and breaking rules under my nose. I laid down the law under my roof and I am sticking by it. If the rule is 11:30 then when my son walks into my house again he is grounded. And next time after that process is completed...and I find steps and make the guy work to regain a priviledge...then the new curfew is earlier. ANd all the discussion I use around why we do things are centered on how that relates to the next sets of relationships. Getttng grounded and going through all the work that is involved is also a medaphor for the work it does take to end one relationship to enter another. And the time between the two, bing seperate. He will have to do that for himself one day or turn into a onion person with all these unresolved 'issues'layered one on top of the other. I am sorry how hard it is when they are out, though. I am going to be enthusiastic for the empty nest when it is time. Oh I have plans for that time, I do. I do. Involving my tidy life. ANd my art messes undisturbed. And I will be doing some sleep. It is going to be fine deep sleep and I will not be betting up on somone elses schedule having dreams of waitressing and angry customers because I have to much STRESS. [/QUOTE]
