[QUOTE="klmno, post: 349160, member: 3699"] EW, I don't freak out over these things- he's always been able to talk to me about puberty, sex, temptations, etc. But he is not in a typical teen suituation, especially with court orders and history of pulling a knife on me to get cigs, then telling them all in Department of Juvenile Justice the problem was his smoking. They are watching him closely and it would be considered a parole violation, not to mention that it could lead to another habit that leads to another violent episode. And he has a history with comuter usage that had court involvement, too. It's his particular history and current situation that make this an issue he HAS to pay attention too- not that I'm a prude who's wringing her hands because my son has these temptations. Keep in mind, it might be typical teen for a kid to sneak and set up a myspace before the age of 14, but my bro told the GAL that difficult child had done this (even though he's the one that told difficult child how to) and I was accused of letting difficult child do illegal things and we were given a court order to remove the computer from the house for months. This is the kind of stuff that happens when a kid around here is on probation or parole. If I allowed him to smoke cigs, I would be hit with a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and we both would be hit with parole violation. Even though difficult child had pulled a knife on me, the only thing that saved my butt then was that my cigs were locked in the trunk of the car and my keys stayed in my pocket 24/7- which is why he threatened me with the knife to get them. Around here, parents have gotten ordered before to either stop smoking around a minor or lose custody. This is the kind of stuff that makes this major- not that I am freaking because I don't think my son will ever do anything wrong or have these same desires. I was a teen in the 70's so I do get what is going on with him. [/QUOTE]
