[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 706084, member: 16024"] Percy, That's laughable. When he is paying his own bills and supporting himself without any help from his parents, he will be living in the real world. Right now he is living in his own little world, where he gets to make all the decisions for his life, spend his money on whatever he wants, and do whatever he pleases. I do agree with Copa, though. He is probably trying to assert his independence, but it is all an allusion. You are in the same position most of us have found ourselves in-having to choose between living with our child and allowing them to treat us and our household with contempt, or forcing them to leave and having to deal with the fallout from that. There are no easy answers. One of the members here did institute a "break the rules and you must be gone for 24-hours rule" thing. It worked out for their situation, after the child turned 18, of course. [/QUOTE]
