My kids can stay and live in my house as long as they want. My youngest wants to stay at home all during her 8 years of college, she is welcome with open arms. My comment about the locks comes from a whole lot of attitude coming from my teen and causing a lot of hardship on the household. I have tried everything all the love, intervening and just about everything you can imagine. Once she turns 18 I won't take the abuse anymore. You don't know what I am going through so don't judge me.
