[quote=Anonymous]Huh. I am in my 40s, and if my parents had addressed me as a "houseguest" and/or told me that I could not come to their house (which I then still referred to as "my" home, by the way), I would have been devastated. It would have cause a big crack in my trust in them. I agree completely that OP needs to set some house rules and have clear expectations for her son, but the consequences should be things like "if you abuse my car, you do not get to borrow it," or "if your friends make a huge mess and don't clean up, then you cannot invite friends over" -- not, "you cannot come home." Also it is really unfair to have let your son act this way for years, and then with no warning punish him by not letting him come home. I find it impossible to relate to that mentality with my own kids, or thinking back to when I was the college student. [/quote]
