when i lived with my mom we had an arrangement that i wouldn't need to pay monthly rent but if house repairs or anything came up, i'd pay for them. it was a sweet arrangement until the driveway collapsed and the perimeter fence broke :-(

anyhoo, the place was so small that the household computer was in MY room. this meant that everyone was constantly traipsing through my room whether i was home or not. my mother was always asking "wtf is this?" about my stuff. if she needed to find something she would just go look for it. being the scatterbrained slob that i am there was always a decent chance that whatever she was looking for would be in my room. so she would go in there and rifle through my shit, not to be nosy but because she was looking for something in HER house.

guess who didn't leave sketchy shit where she could find it? i just don't understand the idea that someone who owns a house should be restricted to certain areas by people who don't own the house. if the rules aren't spelled out, one should err on the side of respect.

See me being a decent human being, that pound of weed doesn't become mine until I've bartered for it so that all parties are happy.

The second that kid walked into his stepdads house with his ''souvenirs" they become his(stepdad) property and he can do as he feels necessary...
not in my worldview bro, but yes in this world its stupid to have brought the seeds.

I think I already explained that. A house has rules - live under my roof; abide by my rules. Those rules come FIRST, and that is what is right. It's all part of learning to live in a community. If OP wants a different set of rules he needs to earn, or at least negotiate, them. cn
yeah,thats bit too dictatorial for me, but ok, your life.

so if you let a roommate move in and you like his stereo, you can take it, cuz its in your house? sorry stealing is stealing. kid is over 18, parents should respect his right to privacy, is it ok to take his porn mag layin next to the seeds? its not ok to take his shit, its not ok to go through his shit. simple as that. if he agreed to let him move in, he agreed at that point to give him a little respect also. Its not like he was bent over the coffee table rollin up a fatty. storing a few seeds is not wrong. if it were the government would tell you no. big brother and all.

and yeah i am a parent, so.....

sso, the thing that i don't understand is that you are using terms (theft, property, dictatorial) that are ok in the context of a society of independent adult citizens ... but you are using them to describe a family situation. A family is not made entirely of independent adults or voters. It is a hierarchy, with the adults outranking the children. Families that don't respect that ... youngsters who are allowed to get away with not respecting that ... tend to grow up unhappy. Ime and imo. cn

Roommate is a different scenario. If I moved in a roommate and payed all the rent and bought his food and bought the stereo he's headbangin' too... That's my shit.

Nice to have my own place...

Seeds stay right where I leave them...

Too bad I can't remember where I leave them...:bigjoint:
speaking of...totally out of the blue I found this glasses case closed up with a sandwich baggy a little larger than a golf ball size full of seeds I had collected over a year I forgot about :D

Will you get my stereo back when a crackhead steals it? Now that's a roomate.

Guess step dad kicked him out, well there is always that option also. It is really hard for people to get along. And I understand it sucks dealing with a parent/stepparents holy'r than tho attitude.





Aaah, but essentially, at this point, he is a roommate. is over 18, was allowed to stay. If I let a friend crash on my couch for a few days, same thing, im not gonna go through his shit, and say get that out of my house. Now if he pulls out a baggy, and says hey im gonna toss a few of these in that closet, is that kool? well, maybe we would need to discuss things. a 60/40 split might be negotiable. lol

what sorta parent am i , to teach my children, that children have no rights?

"do what you want with your kids, kids, they have no rights till they are adults"

lol, no wonder kids often hate adults

once was asked why i got so well along with children

and i was curious myself and asked the children (working with children)

and they said

"you look us in the eyes and talk to us like we are a person"


(i sincerly doubt this is not one of the larger reasons why this is such a fucked up world)

Unohu69 ... roommates are equals. they negotiate their house rules from scratch, together.
A stepson is not an equal, even past 18. As for respect, that cuts both ways. By moving into stepdad's house, he entered into a contract. Keeping something disallowed in the room that is part of stepdad's house is a breach of that contract, and in my eyes that is a piss-poor way to earn or expect respect.

Roommates also generally split the rent. I greatly doubt OP was paying rent, which would give him title to some of that privacy he craves. Jmo ... cn

Haha yea, I gave up the roommate thing a long time ago... I've been living with my girl for 2 and a half years now. I will only live with the one I love or become a bachelor with my own pad if it doesn't work out. Fuck roommates!
Turns friends into enemies in my experience...

I've never lived with a roomate for longer than a couple months either. And yeah, living with the woman you love and cherish sure beats looking out for your buddy.

Oho, sso! I never claimed or implied that children have no rights. I also distinguish between rights and dignity, a line that your post blurs imo. Rights and dignity are distinct. Of course children are persons ... but when those young persons push the boundaries of behavior, reasoning with them is not the only tool allowed or recommended. There is so much more to being a decent parent. cn
