[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It'll be a L-O-N-G year if this kid thinks that he can come and go as he pleases, stay gone overnight and even for days w/o at least telling his parents where he is going to be.

+1. The people saying "let it go" are social misfits. Whether you're 18 or 180, [b]if you aren't communicating your plans with people you live with, you're not going to have a good relationship with them[/b].[/quote]

I had roommates from age 19-26, and I don't understand your point. He did communicate his plans. He sent a text saying where he was (in Sweden for longer) and when he would be back. That's what "people you live with" generally expect -- a notification if you won't be home when expected, so they don't worry.

It's not about communication, it's about the fact that he didn't seek permission from his parents. [/quote]

He made a change in plans that he knew his parents would be opposed to, he didn't communicate said change in plans until after he'd made it, and he also waited until he'd be unavailable for feedback regarding his decisions. That's all about communication--deceptive and cowardly communication. This would be your roommate "communicating" that he'd decided to rent your room out while you were seeing your parents overseas over the summer, and waiting until you were safely on the plane before texting you.
