Sanity I understand what you’re saying about James. But, in my opinion, if you don’t let James know that you will not tolerate that kind of behavior in your home it’s like you’re giving up on James, implying he can’t behave any better than he is.
I’ve had three teenagers live here that I haven’t given birth to. I never understood why the last one wanted to move in. At her dad’s house she was able to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. She had no rules or boundaries. The three years she officially lived here (before that stayed most nights, going “home” once or twice a week) she had the same rules and expectations that my other children had.
I’d sit James down and tell him that you do love him, and he will be welcome in your home as long as he follows the house rules. The ball is in his court.
