And what would you do if they broke every rule you had
What would you do if they stole some of your things and hocked them to get money
I am not saying the OP's son is here... but she has said that he does not follow the rules... simple as they are...
And the second example is from a friend of one of my sisters.... it was a brother that lived with him and stole... the brother brought charges against him and he was sent to jail (it was not his first time with brother or others in the family)...
The continuum is pretty long... the question is where on it the person is... and what will be your response to them...
I can say that as long as my kids are trying to get ahead... I will support them, house them and feed them... if they think they can go through life just being lazy on my couch.... they will learn that it will not happen...
If they broke every rule I had (or even one of them repeatedly - like, let's say, "GET A JOB AND PAY RENT"), then they would be choosing to live in their car (or wherever). I would not be making them. I gave them a choice.
As I said, I think we are in violent agreement.
