[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 33411, member: 3579"] Well, it didn't take long.... [img]:rolleyes:[/img] difficult child was supposed to go to work today, didn't. Said he was "on call", and was hanging out with friends until he got called in. Mom "begged" him to stay clean while we were out (shopping for him and his sibs for Easter). Called up later so stoned he could barely speak. Couldn't come home by agreed-apon time because he wasn't capable of driving (yay, my stoner son knows NOT to drive while stoned [img]:faint:[/img] We said we would come get him he says NO, that he'll be home by 10 (which he was). But we're done. Someone here said "Do to Get". That starts tomorrow. He wouldn't clean up his room? No worries - no clean clothes until his room is clean. No money for the prom? Sorry mate, Banco de Mom-n-Dad just revoked your credit. Maybe your stoner friends would all pitch in some of their weed money to float you a loan - [b]NOT![/b] Oh, better make sure you pay your car, insurance, and phone bill on time, or you'll lose those things in a snap (guess that means McD's after prom instead of Ruths Chris, but hey, it's only prom, right?) Not going to get mad, not going to yell, and I'm sure not going to start a spraying contest with a skunk (teens are experts at psychiatric warfare, so just say NO). Just going to set the ground rules and stick by them. We have the gold, so now we're making the rules. Do to get - that's how it'll be from now on, until he can start acting like a member of the family. THUD! That's the sound of the shoe dropping.... Guess it's raining now.
