My son is 21 years old and is a college student which are during ok
He seem to get into trouble a lot - getting caught with weed, getting caught vandalizing ( 16 years old) - attending parties where they stole his new Iphone
Those are over the past years except for the iphone which was just stolen 4 days after he got it and it happened over the weekend.
He works partime but don't make much
He says we should let him move on his own so he can grow up.
He has not grown up yet after all the times he has been in trouble so I'm not sure that is a good idea
What do you think?
Let the boy go, he will figure "life" out on his own, without you being an atypical "helicopter parent."
What has been the consequences of his actions?
When he was caught at age 16 vandalizing, what happened.did he go to court. What did you do as his parent? Have any of his actions resulted in punishment for him.
When his phone was stolen. What happened.did you buy a new phone.
IF he does move out, you need to write out guide lines. What, if anything, will you pay for? He needs to know what you are going to do if he can't pay rent, or utilities, or doesn't have money for gas. What happens if you get a call from the police station. Are you paying for a lawyer?
Can he live on campus in a dorm. A good way to first live on your own.
You need to let him know what you will and will not do financially and if he gets into trouble.
Don't give him too much freedom and always keep an eye on him
Sure, he can move out. Just tell him that he needs to pay for rent if he's not living at home.
- What's the best laptop for an incoming college student? I'm going to college this fall and I'm torn between a laptop like the dell xps 13 or the Macbook air 13'. I really like the touchscreen option for the dell, but I like apple products, even though I've only ever used an iPad and iPhone. I might use products like photoshop and blendr for fun. I'm so torn. Are MacBooks easy to get used to? Is a touch screen helpful? Which laptop do I get?
- What's the best camera for a college student? I'm looking for a decent camera under $250 for college. I don't really like using my iPhone as a camera because the pictures aren't great. My main priority is low-light. I don't need a lot of features, just a good camera that takes nice pictures, especially in low-light. Right now I'm leaning towards the Sony Cybershot DSC WX150 (slightly above my price range) or a Canon Powershot 510.

- Is it possible for an entering college student to realistically survive without a smartphone? (Ranting WELCOME)? I currently have a smartphone (iPhone SE) that is badly cracked, and I've gotten the opportunity to get a new one, which happens to be, a dumbphone. I'm entering college in a few days, with a super high powered, functions I'll probably never use laptop, could I realistically survive in college without a smartphone? Please give the hard truth REAL details… Feel free to rant!
