I suppose I'm asking if kicking him out is the right thing to do.
I
have enforced punishment however, tho' maybe not as consistantly as I could've.
I was the one that petitioned the court to declare him a delinquent. Otherwise there would have been no consequence for his stealing & smashing up the car, because it is his *parent's* car.
In all honesty, it
is tough for me to punish him. I keep wishing that he'll grow a conscience, so I won't have to *kick his ass out.* But I just can't ignore this.
I guess I'm just looking for confirmation from someone objective, that this is the best and most reasonable thing to do.
