[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 321436, member: 1233"] My difficult child is still convinced that alcohol will mess up his medications and that illegal drugs or other peoples rx drugs or even the dextromethorphan will kill him if he mixes it with his medications. He LIKES the way he feels and functions on his medications and doesn't want to mess it up. Of course, 2 years ago I learned he had sex while in the acute care psychiatric hospital. He TRIED to use a "makeshift condom" aka a snickers wrapper. It took me almost a year after that to eat a snickers bar - and they used to be my favorite! Not only did I lecture him, each grandparent lectured him, then they lectured him together AND I made him go with me to the pediatrician to see if any tests for STDs were needed ((hepatitis and HIV were the only ones that he might have gotten, given the time lag between when I found out and when it happened)). The pediatrician read him the RIOT act. Same thing I told him, but it got through better coming from the doctor. Jessie hasn't asked, but I doubt she would. She saw a LOT of what my bro did while drinking. She still has the occasional panicky moments if she sees someone angry and can see or smell that they have been drinking. So I don't think we will see too many problems from her with regard to alcohol. Jessie's crowd is very anti-drug, -smoke, -alcohol. They quit letting one girl hang out with them because she started smoking last year 8th grade) and when they saw she had a joint on her at school they went to the school cop. They knew she got it from her parents and they said so. We still keep an eye open for it though. But it is NOT typical to ask for this. Of course, we are "enlightened" parents now and our kids do not have the fear that I had as a teen. I was pretty sure that my parents would laugh hysterically if I asked for cigarettes or drugs. AFTER they took a belt to me. And my parents stopped spanking us after we were 10 or so. Even before that age spanking was only for real safety problems. I am sorry your kids want to try this stuff.
