[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321344, member: 3699"] LOL! And my son wanted permission to have sex at 12yo the week after "he became a man" (those were his words that translate into, he crossed the big line of puberty). This is where I get on my soap box that society needs to quit reacting to kids by handing them condoms, drugs, and alcohol when they are too young to handle it. I can see condoms, but not for my son at 12yo- he got my lecture on waiting until he's in high school and at least dating someone. Not to mention, he was on an ankle bracelet and house arrest awaiting a trial at the time. Oh- and the girl who had been coming onto him (yes- she was the aggressor in it all) was 10yo. Age of consent in this state is 13yo. I threatened anyone who gave my son a condom in that situation that I would file charges for TWO counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Anyway- back to your issue- NO WAY IN HADES would I give permission for this. I know there is only so much we can do to prevent it and we can't control everything our kids do- especially the difficult child's- but that doesn't mean we have to give permission for it. As far as most kids ata this age- I don't think it's the norm, however, in some households, pot and drinking are being done by the parents a lot and the kids are either directly allowed or the parent just turns a blind eye, unfortunately. I saw this in a small percentage of kids/households. difficult child has told me that in Department of Juvenile Justice, he has learned that some of these kids in gangs are in because they had no choice- their parents are and have been in gangs since they were kids. It's a shame. I've been called controlling for this, but I don't allow my son to hang out with kids if I know they do drugs or drink. (He's 14yo) People can say what they want but I guarantee you that the court people and people in this neighborhood expect parents to keep their kids under control. [/QUOTE]
