[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, they are right. Can’t drink, but aside from that, full adulthood. You are also an adult so can chose how you react to their boneheadedness, like stopping paying for phone/car/internet/college or kicking them out of the house. I think you would fare better by agreeing he is indeed an adult, and has new freedoms and responsibilities. And coming to some agreement of what those are, and what you will do if he abuses your trust/kindness/home.[/quote] OP here. They won’t be allowed to move out at 18 or go wherever or whenever they want. That’s the point of this thread.[/quote] You cannot stop them from moving out, but usually a lack of financial independence prevents it. My brother is 20 and my mom went through hell with this stuff, but once he got a taste of actually paying for his own life he did come to appreciate that facts limited him where the law didn’t.
