[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you PPs must have horrible children to have so little trust in them.  You seriously think a 14 year old is going to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night because their bedroom is in the basement?  What's stopping them from doing it now?  What are you going to do when he's 16 and driving?

Must be hard being so paranoid.

If it makes sense for the family and the kid is in favor, I'd move his room.  No brainer for me.  [/quote]

It's DCUM.

An OP says her 14 year old son is suddenly behaving himself and listening to her, and a bunch of people pop up asking if she (OP) has considered drugs and whether the DS has been drug tested in the past 4 days :P

But seriously, I'd be happy to be able to give my DS a larger basement room. Let's be honest here: whether he is living upstairs or in the basement, he probably will be chugging his first beer (and hating it, only finishing it so he doesn't look like a pussy), smoking a cigarette or two, and sneaking out before high school is over. Why do I know this? Because this is exactly what I (and probably 90% of you guys) did at his age. You have to trust that, after this rebellion, you have raised him well enough that he is able to make the right choices eventually.

Of course, if you don't trust your DS, by all means lock him in his quiet room upstairs. But that would be a pretty damn boring teenage existence. [/quote]
