[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you ask him if he wants to be emancipated? Maybe he does.[/quote] OP here. He won't do it on his own. He knows the law is on his side, and ultimately we are still responsible regardless of what he does. [/quote] Well, he's right in that way...but you get to control what 'home' is like for him. He needs a bed to sleep in, however, his room does not need a door if he cannot be respectful to you. You don't need working internet for him to use. He needs food, but doesn't need his preferred, varied food. He doesn't need streaming services to watch. What he needs to do is earn these things by following rules and showing respect. I'd lower the boom on him.[/quote] PP who sent my kid to residential. One thing to consider is this. If your kid is prone to violence, going too far can result in disastrous consequences. Taking the door is one of those things I wouldn’t do. [/quote]
