Pete; asb. I hurt for you, but think I can understand. My kids thought it would be "cool" to live with their dad in Ocean City, MD (which is a HUGE party town). No curfews, no limits; you get it. Why live with a parent who instills rules and regulations when you can live with none? I know that when I was 18, I would have taken the high road to enlightment (and I did!~) Yet, they call me to help them with important stuff and to help me deal with their Dad. Studying over the phone for SAT's. Sending credit card payments for Senior Pics., etc. I am with you! Maybe we should start a support group for "Unthankful Kids!" We just cant help but love them, though! SUCKERS!
