He wants to hang with his boys, mom can't stop him

[Deleted User 670]

If this was my kid, I'd take his keys to the house and tell him that he can't come back home until the stay-at-home order has been lifted. And I'd call the cops if he tried to come inside. And then let him explain to the cops why he's galivanting around the city when he's supposed to be staying home.

He’s 18 and wants to hang with ‘his boys.’ His mom hasn’t been able to stop him.

They are sticky notes of surrender, scattered around the house by the anxious mother of a teenager — on the bathroom mirror, the kitchen sink, the cutlery drawer.

“Julian: Wash your hands. 20 sec so we all are fine,” reads the blue one on the microwave. Every now and then, as she has done all his life, she’ll throw in a Bible verse; this week, Psalm 23. “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.... He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”

For two weeks now, since Loudoun County closed its schools March 12, Julian has been building a fort near the Potomac River with “my boys,” he says, about two dozen seniors who show up randomly, bringing free pallets of wood they’ve spotted on Craigslist and building supplies from Home Depot. Rather than socially distancing, they’ve hammered away for hours before grilling hot dogs and fish they catch in a nearby pond and huddling together “to chill.”

I've had it up to my eyeballs with young people right now.

If that were my 18yo, I would be telling the young dumbass to chill down by the river until this thing is over with, take the house key from him and send his ass packing.

He wouldn't be allowed back in the house if he had so little regard for the safety of those who lived there.

Most the young people I know are taking it seriously. The biggest dumbasses I know right now are in their 60's.

I'd tell him that he can now live by the river, because he's not coming back in the house. No way am I leaving sticky notes to remind my adult child to wash his hands properly, my six year old does it without reminders.

This isn't about an 18 year old dating someone the parents don't like or underage drinking. It's the middle of a pandemic. A family member putting the family at risk for frivolous reasons needs to leave the home until it's over.
