[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 496623"] Sounds like a great idea... I applaud you both for finding a way to meet your son halfway... I know we hate the fact that we are all constantly faced with decisions that have only undesirable options. I think it's one of the hardest part about being a difficult child parent...do I want my kid to smoke with my permission or without it? And "not smoke at all" is the option we want but it's not available...I feel your frustration. In this case, i think it's the devil you know vs the devil you don't. The good option isn't available so you must take the "least bad" option. And I think signing the permission slip is the way to go. As a bonus, I think it will make him less likely to blame you ... he won't look at the other kids with parent permission and find his own parents come up short. Oh, the places we go... [/QUOTE]
