No questions asked. I remember coming in at about 1:30 a.m when I was 21(still lived at home), my mother was up waiting for me and man did I get an earful!!! I still feel embarrased thinking about that! :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410176479138340024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194491537353977847.post-44917353272800739872009-12-13T08:08:03.984-06:002009-12-13T08:08:03.984-06:00Tonya and the others are right.

Dad's philosophy was if you live in my house... you follow my rules... and my brothers and I did.<br /><br />You would be totally right for them having to pay consequences.<br /><br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450798070205006436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194491537353977847.post-91978977175118373992009-12-13T05:25:05.607-06:002009-12-13T05:25:05.607-06:00I don't care if he's paying the mortgage. ...I don't care if he's paying the mortgage.

It is a respect issue and if it's your house, I feel you have every right to have some expectations of them.Jo-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142138647752129047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194491537353977847.post-50849153200113609772009-12-12T17:49:17.066-06:002009-12-12T17:49:17.066-06:00I had rules and boundaries at my parents' hous...I had rules and boundaries at my parents' house until I was 21. <br /><br />In my opinion, as long as the child is living in your home, he/she should respect your rules. Just because he/she is getting older, you're still the parent.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501027244546900849noreply@blogger.com
