[QUOTE="amstrong, post: 47002, member: 3266"] Thanks to you all for you kind words. difficult child does have a job-getting 20 hours per week and sometimes as many as 40. Has asked to become full time (which will help). He has a checking account which he has done quite well with. He did tell me last night when I asked that this kid does have some rules at his home and that he doesn't have to pay rent but was asked to contribute to the food, detergent, etc. I told him that I knew he was intelligent enough to be able to make this work and to remember that we are open to discussion if he feel it isn't working for him. I also told him that the reason I am opposed to it, is because I would rather see him spend his money saving toward being able to have a place of his own. He told me he understands my feelings and that he doesn't want to talk about it right now, because he was trying to feel good about it and if he talked to me, he would feel guilty. I told him I was backing off and for him to please check in with me periodically to let me know how he is doing and to come by if he wanted and that I love him. He said he loved me too and that he would call, This is all I can do for now. Thanks again for listening and the kind words! [/QUOTE]
