That's amazing they were born the same date. Not bad luck though. I read all the posts below and I think people who don't know you, your son or your daughter are judging. They say they aren't but it sounds like they are. I totally agree with you on two things. First, you should have your key back. You don't give it to other people who don't live at your house, it doesn't matter if he is your son. Like you said, you don't have a key to your moms house, neither do I to my parents or anyone I know that doesn't live at that house. Second the point is exactly what you said...they didn't discuss the situation with you. I didn't think a 16-year-old child had the right to make that kind of choice unless its living with the mother or father. Either way they should have talked to you first and you could have sorted out whatever brought this on. I'll tell you the biggest mistake of my life (although your case is not as drastic). I joined the Army without discussing it with anyone. I was mad at my mom and wanted out of the house and thought this was the easiest way (and one she would not be able to do anything about - change the situation I mean) - and I was 20 years old at the time. Now as an adult how I wished I would have sat down with my parents and told them what I was thinking about doing. I wish you all the best and hope you all can sit down at some point. If you are responsible for him because he is at his age, he and his sister should know that some kind of rules need to apply to him because of the law with you being responsible. Anyway...I do not think you were wrong to ask for your key. Best of luck to you.
