Friends just paid a small fortune to have their runaway kid kidnapped and taken to military type school out of state. Sad. When you have kids they’re yours forever.

What about recalcitrant teens? Give em the boot? Juvenile hall?

If an 18 yo were an adult we’d let her drink booze

of course the reverse is true too. If you got depressed or lost yr job and couldn’t get another one you wouldn’t lean on anyone in your family right?
