[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 635294, member: 1514"] I agree with toughlovin. I wouldnt become a police state in your home. I am one who tends to side on the legalization of marijuana so it will all become moot soon anyway except for the fact our kids will be smoking it under aged. Just like they manage to find a way to drink under aged. Worry about behaviors. If you can figure out how to curb those you are on the upside. Years later I have thought back to when my son was a little boy and all this was just starting. I know without a doubt my son's biggest motivator was money. I wish from a very young age I had used money, just small amounts on daily basis, to motivate him into better behavior. Nothing else worked. Some kids are motivated by TV time, books, computers, outside time...something...but my son could out wait me on anything. Beside that, he just did what he wanted anyway. As far as your son hating you, well my son spent most of his teen years in group homes and he knows it is all his fault. Anything we had to do to him he will tell you was his doing. He just wasnt going to be told what to do. He doesnt blame us one bit. Never has. He adores us which actually makes some of this stuff harder. [/QUOTE]
