until our son has gained some maturity. Or at least arrange for a dumpy house sitter if we do leave. Our LSU Junior was home for break, but a 21 year old is apparently NOT an effective adult for supervision. Surprise
100% agreed. He has to show you he is mature enough and that will take quite a bit of trust earning before you are there. I've been in that spot with a 16 year old 20 years ago. Came back to find a house that was in good shape, but a ruined mini food processor that had signs of being used to chop weed. Didn't leave him overnight after that till after he graduated from HS.

Prepare him for his future.
Make his life like prison.
No privacy
No Fun
No Money
No possessions
If he gets out of line beat him. I never went this hard because I feared and respected my dad. Did one really stupid thing when I was 16 and he hit me in the chest so hard I thought he broke my sternum. He doesn’t fear or respect you and does as he wants. Likely because you didn’t set ground rules and boundaries at an early age and there were no consequences for breaking the arbitrary rules you did sets
If he wants anything besides the cheapest clothes Walmart sells, scraps for food, car, gas, electronics, or spending money, tell him to get a job and earn it as he’s exhausted his welcome.
You mentioned fair? Who gives a crap about fair. It’s time for severe. His future is prison.
