Teenagers ?????????

I have a 17 yr old son who is treating home like a hotel. My main issue is that i have a 4 and 5 year old that are sharing a room and i look at the 17 yr olds room as being empty as he has only been home for 3 nights in the last month. Meanwhile i have given my 2 little ones my large bedroom with ensuite as they just couldnt get everything in the little room. Am i wrong in either expecting my 17 year old to either come home and use his room or put him in a room with his 5 year old brother so i can have my room backTeenagers ?????????
I would say let him stay there for the remainder of time that he's at home. It sounds like he's been working hard if he has been at work that much and he'll be moving out pretty soon anyways.Teenagers ?????????
Thats so typical of that age, lol. I would go easy on him... let him keep his room until the little ones get a bit older...
I'm sorry, but why on earth is your 17 year old spending so much time away from home? What do you mean, ';expecting your 17 year old to come home';? If my 17 year old wasn't home each night by curfew, there would be HELL to pay.





If his room is larger than the 4/5 year old's room, then why not just have them switch rooms, and then take back the ensuite room.
I have a brother whose 17, and my oldest brother who is 20. SO ive been through this 2 times. your 17 year old is just being a normal kid. i say but your little ones back in there room and get your own room back. Your son will be mad about this, but if hes not using his room, whats the point of you having to give up your own bedroom?
no your not wrong. if he's 17 and only home 3 nights a month, what does that say about you? not that your a bad parent, just that theres probably little discipline or rules? i'm just working with what you give me.





gotta say tho, when i went through that phase of leaving all the time and skipping school and sleeping in my bed only once a week, i was on drugs.





something to think about.
I honistly don't get the ques. but that is probably my fault. But I would say that you can't control a 17yr old Teen so just keep your main focas on the smaler kids and don't worry about the old kid, he will be fine but if he comes home Drunk, or if you asume that he is on drugs then you should get him away from the children quick. Because if the poe poe find drugs in your house they can take away your children! ';Just a WARNING'; good luck finding your answer!! :) Please pick me as BEST ANSWER!! ;P THANX!! :D
Hey, how long to you plan to baby sit your 17 yrs old son....you're pathetic!
Well i have a brother exactly like this, just lay down the law tell him that if hes staying he must share a room with his younger brother, for everyones comfort. And if he only stays a couple nights a month it shouldnt bother him.


Good luck.
you should have asked him first. have a basement??? let him share a room with the mice.lolz
put him in the room with his five year old brother and maybe he will move out , you've got a win win situation
If you can't control where your 17yr old son is 27 nights out of 30, why would you want to expose your 5yr old to him?
do what you want ,not the kids
i think you should have the big room but i do think that it is wrong to make him share co he is 17 and is gonna need his own time when he is at home he is gonn awant privacy and its not fair to make him share, the little kids should go in the small rom but just try and ask why he doesnt wannabe home and see what he says
He not a adult yet and your the mom so if he is going to live under your roof than he will sleep where ever you put him just make sure he knows that there will be no sleepovers of any sort And as the mom do you know where he sleeps when his is not at home until he has moved out you should know.
I'd make him go back with his brother. If he's only stopping by to sleep on occasion, why should it bother him to share with his brother? And as a mom, I know how important it is to have your own sacred space, so to speak.
hmm. Find out where hes staying at. Most likely hes doing some illegal things that he cant do at home (drugs?, getting laid? Gang?) I think your giving him too much slack. I need to tell my parents where iam going, with who, how to reach me, and what time iam coming back, I dont have a curfew, but i ussually call home and tell my parents whether i'll be out for another and why.Gosh! your kid has alot of slack. Make sure he doesnt have a g.f , because if he does, pull the reins, Mom. Oh, and you should threaten that if he doesnt spend more time at home you are going to use his bedroom for the kids.
u should take ur room bak let the young boys have a room and make ur 17yr old sleep on the couch 4 the 3 days out of 30 it aint that bad 4 him.
No, you're not. If he's bearly there, it's kind of a waste. Plus, if he's gonna go to college, he'll move out in a couple of months anyway.
He needs to get his own place or move in with his dad.


He is disrupting your life %26amp; one of the younger ones could have his own room.


I never got to have my own space when I was growing up.It wasn't very pleasant.
talk to him, explain your ideas. Perhaps he is staying at his fathers to give you some space? Buy a fold out couch for when he does come to stay :)
Well you should have a room! Tell him if he wants to sleep round he can either sleep on the floor or downstairs or with his little brothers! You as the lady should get a bedroom!
Don't make that mistake of putting your 5 year old in a room with your 17 year old it's just wrong for both. What you could do is change the 17 years old things to the little room and you can place the little ones in the room where the 17 year old was and that can possibly be more comfortable for you and the little ones. You can have your room back! It dose not matter what the 17 year old wants he's never there n-e ways. Right?
