Re: freedom at what age

Once a "child" turns 18, he is responsible for their actions as any adult. He is free to do as he pleases, however, he will suffer the consequenses if he screws up. If he is still living with you, however, you may establish guidelines like for any tenant.

good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
