[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 358987, member: 1233"] I am a teacher's kid. I know for a FACT that some of your colleagues have kids like yours - they just don't go to your school. In fact, my mom INSISTED that we NEVER go to a school my dad taught in for just that reason. My bro was a difficult child. heck, one of my parents' close friends' is raising her grandson because her daughter refused to. daughter now has 2 more kids and only wants the oldest around when she needs a sitter. She is a difficult child at heart in a BIG way. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Your daughter is appalled. That is good. It means that if you crack down she MAY turn herself around. Have you ever watched the show 7th Heaven? It is about a preacher's family. The oldest daughter goes off the rails and trashes the gym at the high school her senior year. It might give you some ideas if you watch it. Rap Boy graduated with a diploma AND an AA? AWESOME!!!!!! That is truly great!!!!So are college plans. You might want to talk with Marg about the transition to life with an adult child if you let him stay at home. He has a diploma and a degree. It means he should be able to find some kind of job. You may want to have him move out, to get an ideal what REAL life is like. Esp if you do not think he will respect your home and rules now that he has graduated. At this point, with him graduating, you can really stop paying for things for him. It might be a good wakeup call to sit him down and explain the rules. Rent in an amount you set is a good idea. Your home, your rules. Lay out those rules and the consequences that you WILL follow through with. Put it in writing and give him a copy. File a copy with your signature. Make SURE that you put that he must move out immediately if certain things happen. You will NEED that, in writing and signed, if your town is like many. They may want you to do a formal eviction rather than just kick him out if he breaks the rules. The signed paper would be an agreement and would make it so you did not need to go through formal eviction in most areas. Congrats on the graduation!!!!! [/QUOTE]
