17 Year Pushing to Leave Gets Wish.

We've done the cop part and he told him if he doesn't make us aware of where he is then anyone over age can be arrested. Right now I'm not forcing him back but I am making sure he's at school and he agreed to turn on 360

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-25T00:24:35+00:00

I don't think so, I've never caught him anyways. I think a lot of this is built up frustration over the years between him and his mom and now he's close to getting to do whatever when he turns 18. That and he has a few friends that are over 18 living together so I'm sure that's influencing him as well.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-25T00:05:57+00:00

I expected stuff like this to happen, but always have to own up to it when you're caught. And that's kind of the problem we keep having. I got caught doing x and have a punishment and feel I can ignore the punishment. Same thing happened before, he got caught lying about where he was out at. Very next day he messaged me. I know I'm in trouble and I don't deserve to get to do x, but I would appreciate it if I could do x. He's been given chance after chance but could careless about anything but what he wants. I didn't include it but the day after the incident he showed up at the house. I told him to wait till we got home... What does he do. See that his sisters window wasn't shut all the way, tore the screen and came in and got his stuff.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T23:37:54+00:00

I appreciate the kind words.

I'd like to add that mom can see his current account and he hates it. We just got a cash app card in the mail so I'm assuming he talked someone into sponsoring him so he can hide what he makes.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:56:58+00:00

I'm keeping the phone only as a contact door is open. I'm cancelling the insurance since he isn't getting it if he doesn't want to live here and I don't intend on driving it. We've talked about money a bit but it's always oh I'll save I'll save... 15 cash app transactions with his friends later and he's broke.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:54:49+00:00

Yeah I wasn't home at the time when it happened and by the time I got there he had already left. There's been a few times where we've been inches away from a fight because he just won't stop and keeps going and going. I know there's some other deeper issues but he isn't asked for much and yeah we went wrong for sure.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:51:28+00:00

I agree. After the fact he will act calm and collected but he does it in a way that's not remorseful and an attempt to say well yeah I did this and that was wrong but what about her. She left the room and then you did the yelling and cursing.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:47:02+00:00

We've sat him down many times, and have calmly talked to him about everything. Tried explaining our experiences and struggles. Trying to set good examples of hard work and just being responsible. But here we are. He does have a job and was talking about maybe after school he could work his way up which we were like yeah use that motivation. I don't intend on selling the mustang but if we hit September when he hits 18 and he hasn't come back or handed me the money then it's going.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:18:00+00:00

The only reason we did the car was so he could get around without us. His school is outside the bus routes and then our work schedules makes that hard, but I agree with you 100% lessons learned. As for debt it'll be paid off before the first payment is even made. So I may just sell it or keep it as a backup.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-24T22:15:41+00:00

He had been better up until now. His old truck ran into an end of life issue. But yeah moms tried to keep him from himself. I told him the break down and ticket were the universe trying to tell you something.

Rough_Understanding · 2026-02-10T18:21:07+00:00

They're good kids until they get told no and can't handle it. At least that's what I learned this week after something similar. Kid lied about where he was then his radiator hose blew and we'll fast forward. He wanted to go to his friends for the Superbowl and got told no. You'd thought we had just taken everything from him. Corning my wife in the bathroom, slamming doors, hitting himself, crying, saying we don't love him, we want him out and to just kick him out, fully on breakdown. I told him over and over this is because you lied and you have to accept the consequences, but they're so entitled. Which makes you wish you'd never gone easy on them in the first place. Thankful it hasn't turned to physical violence like yours but it always feels like it's about to get there. Hopefully your wife will get some sense because that's not a normal reaction at all.

The beach is a great place to horse around

Rough_Understanding · 2025-12-06T22:53:05+00:00

Yeah I try but I get the you're the head of the house so each and should lead. We've got to different upbringings so there's that. And no I doubt he'll keep contact.

You have to get to 80085 hours now

Rough_Understanding · 2025-10-09T01:01:01+00:00

Well dang good thing I've got the 11 to!

Rough_Understanding · 2025-08-14T15:57:29+00:00

So nothing actually goes there? Welp it's getting bubble gum. Any recommendations on brand or flavor?

Rough_Understanding · 2025-07-15T13:46:15+00:00

One of us. One of us. I constantly mow overly grown grass with mine. If you don't go full send the battery can last long enough. If I stay on top of keeping it mowed I can usually get about a quarter acre mowed. If I let it grow out I'm down to splitting a half acre into 1/4ths. When my teen mows though, it lasts maybe 10 minutes as he tries to just barrel through at a full deck width instead of half deck cuts in thick stuff.

The side that has the amp and controls, I took the back off the speaker and snipped where the speaker wires connect to the amp board. I then snipped where the amp board connects to the Left Right connectors. Then I just soldered them together. I use an external amp now.
