[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 578980, member: 59"] We pointed out to her this is a clean slate for her and it's up to her to keep it clean. Of course she promised she was going to but we all know what happnes to promises our difficult children make. I was a bit irritated as we were sitting in the lobby waiting for her attorney, there was this guy with long hair from the 70's and his female friend. He lived in California for years and just came back here. I guess he got arrested for pot because he said he hoped he would get his bowl back and they don't worry about pot in Cali yadda yadda. Not the kind of conversation I wanted difficult child to be listening to. Then he started talking about the young girl in Florida who was disrespectful to the judge and was fined and sent to jail and how that judge was too hard and she was just a kid blah blah. I couldn't keep my mouth shut and told him she was old enough to commit a crime so she should be old enough to know how to treat the courts with respect and that was just not very smart and perhaps it sent a message to all the others in court that day. Just another example of how quick some people are to excuse some behavior. [/QUOTE]
