[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 136423, member: 1233"] I don't agree with mb. In that age group alcohol IS a weapon. Make sure you know he needs to do the right thing. That you will support him and try to keep his identity a secret. But part of growing up is doing the right thing. Letting this go is NOT the right thing. I would NOT give cash at this point. Does he have a specific reason why he needs to change the current pattern? If it is a good reason, I might let him have it. How would YOU feel if your son bought vodka at school, then you found out another parent KNEW and did not report it? Your son needs to trust you. He especially needs to trust you to do the right thing, even when it is hard. This is how we teach our kids to be responsible adults. I would not mind bargaining/influencing the principal to keep my son out of it. It is a way to keep your child safe. In fact, I might INSIST on it and let the principal know that any fallout on my kid will be laid at HER doorstep. I am sorry you are in this pickle. But it may be a test from your son to see what you think is the right thing to do. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
