[quote=Anonymous]OP here. No, I don’t think the threat of kicking him out will have a positive effect , as there is zero chance, at this point, of that actually happening. I tend to be more reactive, and I respect my husbands viewpoint that, before we know it, he will be in college, and able to do any of these things if he wants. I may be naive, but, they’ve maintained a good enough relationship that I think actually getting the fact that his dad has lost a level of trust in him, is more significant that losing the car for a few weeks. And, this has lead to some really good conversations, at an appropriate level and only dealing with what she has seen, with our 10 year old. Conversations about losing and regaining trust, provledgea and responsibilities of being grown up, how growing up doesn’t happen all at once, etc I had her out of the house all day yesterday while a lot of this was going down, so a lot of time to talk![/quote]
