[QUOTE="Star*, post: 136741, member: 4964"] KLMNO, WOW what a quandry. I don't envy your position in this. My first thought about allowance and vodka in the same sentence was - the kid is selling shots for a buck. (what a little entrepreneur). I think you did the right thing telling the principal. Personally? Since you already feel you breached trust with your son, I see no reason not to call the principal and give her the name. If she's worth a thin dime - she'll watch this kid and make her own judgements. If she went right to your son it may be that she has seen him with that boy, so I think you're safe. Middle school is the hardest years of anyones school life. Everyone is changing, hormones are out of control, you're not a baby any more but you're not grown up. It's hard, and anything someone can do at that time to "get" noticed - they seem to do. Some seem bolder than others. It's almost like proving grounds for who gets to be in what clicke. Sad but true. It may be a good time to start checking out books on how to talk to your kids about drugs. The government has a web site that offers TONS of free literature and POSTERS - that you can donate to the school. They are fantastic....and target a tween audience. If you still feel odd about talking to the principal again - I would write - Vodka - Joe Blow......and hand it to her. You may be doing this kid a favor. If he's getting drunk at this age - wow.....or maybe he stole it and his parents don't know - either way it's time to get the booze out of that house. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
