[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 729230, member: 22819"] My son says the same. He's leaving at 18. Two of the three psychs we're seeing are saying basically that - let him do nothing, stop pressuring, stop expecting anything from him... We always had a very disciplined routine, and I find it impossible to just sit back and watch him fall into lazy, unhealthy habits. I just can't. But if you think it will make life easier for you and the rest of your family, maybe you should give it a try, if you can stand it. Psychs talk about natural consequences, and how I never let him feel them because I'm always saving him from them. Maybe letting them do whatever they want is a way for them to experience those natural consequences and not be able to blame us. I dunno. I find it very, very difficult. [/QUOTE]
