Ern - This is a serious question. When does your child have the right to say that what you think is good for her/him is crap and then proceed to ignore you? IMHO, this question is the major question for the parental rights at all costs people. It is best if your children and you can reach broad enough mutual respect so you can work this issue out informally. However, I personally know a lot of cases where the best didn't happen. The teen-parent wars were quite spectacular. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | Cave ab homine unius lebri | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | [Beware the man of one | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | book] - Anonymous Latin | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
