[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not sure where you stand on a contract.  I think it is a good idea to have things written down.

However, if you decide against a written contract then perhaps you can hold weekly family meetings at which all family members are to attend.  A family meeting is a structured event, you can even have an agenda and take notes, where you can discuss things that affect the family.  It could be that you have concerns and it could also be that your son has concerns.  It also can be used to celebrate successes.  A formal family meeting is a good way for people to air grievances so that they don't escalate into arguments.

I didn't go back and read the middle pages so I don't know if you've thought about the suggestion of a family counselor for you and your spouse, but your counselor could help you with this.

There is a way to set up your WiFi so that you can easily turn it on/off.  I've seen commercials for two different services that do this.  I think you could do a quick search on the internet and you'll get it figured out.  You could also call your ISP and see what they say.

Good luck, OP!  I think you're doing the right thing in providing a soft spot for your son to land (I like how another PP put that, "soft spot") and then also thinking ahead about how you can help him move forward.  It will be hard work but you're on the right path![/quote]
