[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Just to clarify: DS did get accepted into safety and they will hold his spot for one year.  However,  he wants to go to UVA with VCCS guaranteed transfer agreement.

Charging him rent seems illogical.  He is saving us a lot of money by going to CC first year.  The program designed so that he does not loose credit/time.  We are saving at least 20K this year.  If he is unable to transfer to UVA he can still go to safety and transfer all the credits.

I love the list of rules.  I am curious how do you enforce them?  It's easier to draw the line with bringing home guests/girlfriend.  But how do you control bedtime/skipping classes with 18 year old? He tells me that he has it under control and "everything is fine".

PP with the rules, I don't care about bed time.  Just be quiet when other people are sleeping.  Skipping classes is non-negotiable.  You go to school or you move out.  FWIW my hard headed adult kid who did live at home grew up by age 20.  He's a different person now.  Nothing major happened, just needed time and space to figure things out.[/quote]
