pcoz and zahavasdad- You are right that the Army may straighten him out (we’re not against anything right now that’s responsible), it’s just that how will we survive until then? He has at least another year and a half or 2 years befor he’d get called. I don’t think we could wait that long. I’m not even sure how we will manage the summer. As far as having a confrontation with him, I’m not sure we’ll win. It has nothing to do with his size, it’s his stubbornness. I think he’d rather move out, or hang out in the streets for some time, rather than conform to house rules, just to ‘show’ us ‘he’s in charge of himself, not us. He’s extremely strong willed.
