[QUOTE="KFld, post: 38387, member: 2442"] Please don't take the stand that there is nothing you can do. There is plenty you can do to get the point across that he is now allowed to behave like this in your home. Take away every priviledge you possibly can. Don't allow him to drive, take the t.v. out of his room, video games, etc. Let him know this is your house. If he is going to treat you that way, then he doesn't deserve any priviledges. You need to tell him straight out that as long as he's living in your home, he's not allowed to smoke pot and come and go as he pleases. You may not be able to kick him out, yet, but you can show him that you are the boss and you make the rules. He's not worried about your feelings and disrespecting you so you have to stop worrying about how every action you take will make him disrespect or resent you. You've tried being Mr. nice guy and he's already treating you this way. You are his parents, not his friends. [/QUOTE]
