What I said was not the first thing they should say.  It is the result of him not following the rules and repeatedly disrespecting the family rules.  [b]Only then would I use the threat. [/b] I think Dad wants to be friends and cool dad rather than parent.  It is not about being a prude.  This kid wants the benefits of being an adult ( sex, independence etc) with the benefits of being a kid ( you making lunch, buying him car insurance, using the car)  he doesn't respect your DH or you.  Why would you put up with this?  Your ten year old is watching and learning.  Dad is going to want to be friends with ten year old too.

But, this is not my family so not really my problem.  I wish you all the best!

So if you told your 18-year-old to follow the family rules or you will kick them out of the house, and your 18-year-old didn't, you would kick your 18-year-old out of the house?[/quote]

Well, if we are talking about my own kids than I wouldn't be in this situation at all.  My kids are older ( 16 and almost 20) and they would never smoke weed or sneak a boyfriend/girlfriend into the house.  Not saying they are perfect but, we all get along and like to live in harmony.  So, I can't answer this question because it is never going to happen.

However, if op's son was mine than I will tell him he is welcome to live in our house if he played by our rules.  He has options.  He can live with his mom, he can follow the rules and live with us.  But, he can't have it both ways.  He isn't an adult if I am making his lunch.[/quote]

I'm willing to bet your now 20 year old was having sex as a high school senior.  You are delusional if you think otherwise.  [/quote]
