No, I am not confusing the Spock's. His name was Benjamin Spock, the
originator of "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Now, I can agree with
sparing the rod as a rule, but I can't agree with spoiling the child, as a
rule.

He's way overage. The problem is not about not being able to come back;
it's that he has no inheritance. And do you not agree that as long as
they're living in your house, they go by your rules?

The fights were largely about his not being home. Then he didn't come home
after having to fight, so they got tired of it and gave him an ultimatum,
which he shaped up and followed until he got old enough to leave. Then he
stupidly said "piss off."

Well, I can't justify that anymore than anyone could justify my family
being dysfunctional, given that we've cleared things up...
