[quote=Anonymous]While my first instinct would also be to laugh at this and remind him of who pays the bills, that might not be the most constructive way to address it. If he’s 12— at a time when both of you are calm you can sit down and discuss. His brain is not yet done developing. There are times he’s going to do dumb things because he physiologically can’t help it. Part of your job as a parent is watching out for him and that includes access to his space (including electronics). That said, you want to give him whatever privacy and autonomy he’s shown he can handle. If he does X, you can agree to y. (Knocking, etc.) He doesn’t have to be happy about it. And you can certainly remind him that he is not the owner of the space, and that total autonomy is a thing you get when you’re an adult and paying your own way. [/quote]
