[quote=Anonymous]These kids aren't children anymore. They work hard and have been essentially independent and successful for the past year. Many have jobs, classes, or studying to do over the summer. What they don't have is their own residence. This is the deciding factor. It should not be about controlling them but rather about mutual respect. If you get up at 5am to commute they cannot expect to entertain friends until 2am. If you cook dinner but they don't like the selection they should not be offered something else. On the other hand you should not be trying to force them into the role of a minor. They should not have to tell you where they are and who they are with constantly. Your expectation that your child is coming home to cuddle in your open arms is not really realistic. A basement room with a separate entrance is the best compromise lol.[/quote]
