[QUOTE="witzend, post: 210493, member: 99"] Amen, Fran. Very good advice. 'Stang, I feel obligated to point out, what you do here will set the tone for his life for some time to come. If coming and going is what he thinks you will put up with, it is what he'll do. I would prepare the list of expectations, but unless he came back to me with his tail between his legs and [i]asking[/i] what it is he can do in order to come home, I wouldn't let him in the door other than to pick up his stuff. He [i]has to[/i] know it is on your terms. If he comes through the door all arrogance and "they were too stupid to stay with", then you have to kick him and his stuff right back out the door until he [i]wants[/i] to come home, not when he [i]has[/i] to come home.
