well thanks again bong .
you guys need to sit down and say sorry....

Talking..... not fighting

If you want to solve this....You and your husband need to bite the bullet, and start things off. He is looking for reasons to rebel...hes 17.

In my eyes...at 17 I was a Man. I had been the man of the house for a while, but I still made bad decisions.........

Tell him when he is 18...His curfew is up to him, but he should respect the others in the house and come in at a reasonable hour....


Punishment should fit the crime....1 month no car, for 1.5 hours late????

i would have been pissed too......... maybe he is the one with the sense?

Remember...that is his step dad ( I had 3).... if one had layed his hands on me..... I would have kicked his ass..... your husband needs to respect him too.

Does a slammed door deserve...assault? < thats is what your son is thinking

IMO sounds like your husband need to start with the appoligys...then let you talk... your son has no respect for him....They bolth need to work on respect.
who is the adult, who should know better?

WG, time to talk to your son about moving out.

I see he cant drive past 11 by law..... let the police deal with him.


Hang in there..............
thank you
