[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 684529, member: 11832"] Sbk, the board tends to be slower on the week-ends. I'm sorry that this has been delegated to you. My son is currently 17, so we haven't made it to the young adult stage yet. I'm thinking that a 19 year old should certainly be responsible for some chores at your house. I think since he smoked pot in the past he is probably still doing it. Has he met new friends in your neck of the woods? My dad sent my brother to Florida in order to get him away from his drug using friends. Within a month, my brother had a whole new set of friends just like the old ones. It took a DEA drug raid on his apartment to scare my brother into the seriousness of adulthood. I don't think you can force your nephew into taking his life seriously. He has to find his own way there. There's nothing wrong with him limping along at community college while he figures out what's important. Right now it seems that smoking weed is rather a priority for him. At least he's honest about it. [/QUOTE]
