[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 640504, member: 18238"] My issue with this is he has been using us for the last few years as "The Bad Guys" when it comes to his friends. Im just tired of having to do that instead of him just being able to tell someone...other than us that is!...no and do or dont do what he wants to do. I cant help but feel to coninue saying no for him is enabling him to continue to let others control his life instead of stepping up and living it himself. J-2 is more than well aware of the situation. If you remember, he is the one who followed our son to the homeless shelter. As to telling him it isnt possible to have anyone over for the holiday besides family, he knows us well enough to know that would be a lie. I've been doing that for several years. Instead, my son has turned that into an excuse to have me be the bad guy to his friends. [/QUOTE]
