[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 217289, member: 1550"] Ok...I'm not getting a strong feel for your son. Is he just a compulsive liar or does he steal often? Was this the first time? Are you sure he is only smoking pot? I learned the hard way that our kids often let us know about pot (they figure it's not that bad) but leave off that they are doing other, far more dangerous, drugs too. And many times, we want to believe it's just pot, so we don't really question. Is he doing well in school? Have a plan for when he graduates? If he won't listen to your rules when he is 18, do you still plan on allowing him to live at home? Does he have a job? Do you give him money, pay his car insurance, lend him your car, etc? I sure wouldn't. I'd make him work for everything he had, and he'd be too busy to visit Little Miss Girlfriend that often, especially if he had to ride his bike to her house after riding his bike to work. And under no conditions would I drive him to any parties in case he has no license and depends on YOU to get around. No, siree. Wouldn't happen. He could whine all night and it would never happen. Making my ex-drug addict daughter pay for everything herself by working at 16 didn't keep her out of trouble, but it certainly made it harder for her to get into more trouble and, now that she's clean, she has the BEST work ethic...welcome back :) [/QUOTE]
