[quote=Anonymous]OP, this sounds like the kind of situation that family counseling can really help resolve. It will allow both sides to really get a chance to express their side, and work with an objective third party to come to a compromise that everyone can live with. While I can see why he is pushing back against having restrictions placed on him (no teenager likes that) its also reasonable that a person must adapt to the social contract (rules) of the house they are living in. Again, it would really be the family counselor that is helping you wade through this, but I'm thinking there is some kind of compromise reached.... For example, "we've asked him not to use a straight razor for shaving." Well, if that's what he's always used and he's able to do it with minimum blood, maybe this is not a battle you need to pick. On the other hand, it is reasonable to set up a curfew time, and for all parties to understand exactly what the consequences would be for missing curfew.[/quote]
