That is a coincidence

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.

What a coincidence!
My husband has been suffering from low back pain and associated leg pain from a rear-end accident from five years ago. He's gone through PT and therapeutic massage. Just a few weeks ago his massage therapist told him about a chiropractor who is an associate of hers that does spinal decompression. Worker's Comp will only pay for one or the other so he quit her to go to the chiropractor. He's going three times a week, and it's only been two weeks - hence only six treatments. He can put on his own socks for the first time in five years! He comes home sore after the treatments, say's it's not unlike being put on a Medevil rack, but sooooo worth it! Advil takes care of the soreness, and the next day he's usually just fine.
Of course, this is only one instance and is anecdotal, but based on my husband's experience, I give it a wholehearted DO IT!
What a funny coincidence!
I was getting married in October, and my hubby's sister was getting married in August before us. I bought my dress before she did, but it was still at the shop. How funny that when she got her dress and brought it back to her parent's house, it was the exact same dress! Ha!
We couldn't just share it though because she had to have 4 inches whacked off the bottom and I didn't. I did stick a crenolin under mine, and she didn't, and our veils were different.
Oh, and we both got oval diamond engagement rings. Isn't that a hoot?
So funny!
Manchurian candidate - coincidence
Well I'm not posting on the political board because this is more of an opinion about a movie and likeness (just so happens to be a likeness to a political candidate). Tonigh DH and I watched the Manchurian Candidate with Meryl Streep. We had not seen this movie in about 3 years and about 10 minutes into the movie DH and I looked at each other and said the same thing at the same time. We said "Hillary Clinton". Whatever you may think of Clinton (good or bad) if you watch this movie you have got to see the similarities. DH said even her hairstyle is the same. Streep plays a Senator who will do anything to get her son elected to President (only in real life its Hillary doing anything to get herself elected). Anyway...don't want to make this political, just wanted to bring up that it is a very creepy and scary coincidence. Actually its not a coincidence - its like watching the real thing. Regardless of whether you like her or now, watch the movie with an open mind and you will see what I mean.
