[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 478121, member: 59"] It sounds like they are like a lot of families around here who look the other way when their underage kids drink or they use drugs recreationally. Therefore they don't want to get in a conversation with you about it. Perhaps they think you are toos trict with your son and he is a delight at their house. This is a very similar situation we had. Our neighbor down the street allows his kids and neighbor kids to drink and smoke pot in his house. His son has been a problem for us for years. Last year difficult child went to live there when we kicked her out. They welcomed her with open arms, included her in their family, cooked for her, got her take out with the rest of the family, and allowed her to drink and use drugs in their basement for three months until she was so strung out she called begging to come home (which led to her going to the sober house because we said no). We didn't agree with their lifestyle but if it didn't affect us we didn't care. They both smoke pot and kids all know they can go there and do the same. Then they tried to safe difficult child from us. It ended up where their son is the one who criminally damaged our door by kicking it repeatedly in the middle of the night. We proved it was him, had him arrested, and he was just ordered to pay restitution and undergo drug counseling. I guess the parents can no longer deny he has a problem, it's costing him $3,800 plus attorney fees and court costs. I believe eventually this family will get tired of supporting him or your son and his girlfriend will break up or someone will get arrested and then you will hear from them. I don't understand some parents. Nancy [/QUOTE]
