[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 534644, member: 3419"] LOL, Buddy, they must be brothers! Klmno, yes he said something very revealing the other day, and I told husband. Last month, when husband told difficult child that if he was honest, he wouldn't be punished, difficult child told him (us) that he had smoked weed. Yesterday, when difficult child said he didn't do drugs, I said, "Are you sure? You know what would happen, don't you?" and he said, "Yeah, nothing. That's what Dad said when I told him the truth." I think my eyeballs popped out of my head. Boy, did he misintrepret that one! We have to be very, very careful how we word things. His mind does NOT work the way ours does! So this weekend, among other things, such as finding out exactly who is the dealer, how he gets the stuff, etc., (difficult child told us a name we'd never heard but we still think it's M), we have to tell difficult child in no uncertain terms that he WILL be punished if he does drugs again, and that telling the truth is only one part of the equation. It all makes sense to us ... but not to these kids. [/QUOTE]
