My child is 19, however he still lives at home, however because he still lives at home, I know that there are particular rules that he has to follow.
If he wants to continue to live under the Safety and Security of our roof, then he has to let myself and others know where he is going and when he will be back.
I do not care if he doesn’t come home for the night, however it is nice and courteous to let someone know. I am not a short order cook. My child eats what is in the condo or he pays for something that he wants. He has to do his own laundry. If it piles up in his room, I will say something about it. If it starts to trickle out the door, I willwatch the laundry and charge him just as a laundromat would. I do not mind that he is residing at home at all, however I want him to learn a little bit of responsibility before he is out on his own and these little things will be helpful. I warned our child that I was getting aggravated with the laundry situation last week. I decided to go ahead and clean all of the clothes. I did not plan on charging our child this time, because he was working every single morning. I did not expect to find a marijuana roach in his pocket. The marijuana roach was in the front pocket of his labor pants. The marijuana roach had clearly been smoked and then the roach was put back into his pocket. I wanted to talk about the marijuana as soon as he got home from labor that night.
