[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No teen falls asleep at a friend's house at 11 pm, certainly not if boning his girlfriend is on the table.  It bothers me more that he blew off his family trip after his siblings expressed how important it was to them.  [/quote]

This.  I'd tell him while he lives in your house the expectation is that he attends long planned family vacations unless he is scheduled to work or has school commitment he can't miss.

Also, saw your post about paying for grad school. NO, No, No.  Tell him now you pay for college only.  You may need that money to care for your parents or yourselves.
Nursing homes cost $300 per day now.

Does he work?  Time for him to get a job.  You have HIM get the job.  No plush DCUM internship in a fancy office.  Tell him he needs to get a job to start paying for gas and dates.
Summers....let him know that the expectation now that he is graduating is that he works summers.

He can go to a temp service, Giant, restaurant, retail etc.

Teens that are working and studying will have less time to get in trouble.
