[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 731763, member: 1550"] Personally I don't think CPS will do anything since grandson is 17 and soon to be 18. They know there is little time left for them to do much. Why invest in him? I am not sure the cops are that hard on pot anymore. It's not like it was when we were kids and pot was felony. You know what it's like in your area. It is no longer a big issue where I live although it isn't legal. The cops are busy with meth and heroin here. And cocaine. Since it isn't going on in your home, if it were me, I would not like it but I wouldn't get involved either. Grandparents don't have a ton of rights and pot is soon going to be like alcohol. I however would not encourage impaired grandson to get a driver's license either. Very bad combination. He would not get money for classes and NO CAR from me since he smokes pot. Get your granddaughter soon if you can. At 18 nobody will be able to do squat about the boy and he will have the right to say no to any treatment and to run back to be with his permissive mother. It is totally up to you but that is how I would handle it. Now if you are paying for his cell phone or clothes etc. you can stop doing it unless he steps up to YOUR standards. Tell him he risks a monetary dump if he keeps up this lifestyle. Otherwise you can't do much in the big picture. You CAN and in my opinion SHOULD stop paying ANY bills for 36 year old daughter. She is a big girl and should pay her own bills or reap the consequences. I would never give money to a 36 year old adult, child of mine of not. I never have. Love and light to you. Enjoy your retirement years by putting YOU and spouse first. [/QUOTE]
