[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is an adult, OP, and he paid for this trip by himself.  While being jet-lagged is not a great way to start your last year of high school - neither is being pissed at your parents and your parents pissed at you.  My advice is to work through exactly what you're angry about and work to resolve it before DS comes home.  [/quote]

Yes.  I think you need to address the lack of consideration his actions show and how that affects your relationship.  The fact that he made changes without discussion is concerning and the fact that no details have been forthcoming makes it worse.  I think you all need to have a long chat about how this year at home and any expectations for college will play out.  He certainly doesnt have the ball in his corner right now if he expects much from you!!!

As for the start of school, just let that play out with natural consequences.  He has to deal with the jet lag and hopefully is all set or can quickly arrange supplies, summer work, etc.[/quote]
