Would you believe him?

If you believe him you're stupid. Was over a friends on a cold winter night and noticed his teen son and friends kept going outside. He told me that they were listening to "objectionable rap music" and wanted to play it outside. LMAO.

They were so stoned they almost couldn't breath.

Please tell me you couldn't help but point this out

I would believe him.

Applejack is a brandy. It's 80 Proof, 40% alcohol. If he drank the bottle, he'd have alcohol poisoning. If he drank half the bottle, he'd have trouble staying upright. It also has a very strong smell. He didn't drink it.


Apart from the fact that it would be odd to leave it on the counter. Just talk to him, reiterate why you were concerned, and believe him. I have a teen boy who doesn't drink. And no, I'm not just being naïve. Not all teens drink.

+1

You would know if he drank half a bottle of Applejack.

How well do you know his friends, OP?
I know single parenting is damn hard. Kudos to you for finding the time and energy to be concerned. Our kids need more of that. All of them.

I did point it out and then we checked the liquor cabinet. Vodka tasted like water.

Hmmm...time to start putting epsom salts in the vodka. If your kids get the trots you know they're dipping into the home stash.

Whose the friend who makes the art?

My DH was a teen drinker and had a drinking and drug problem and ended up in rehab at age 19 after being kicked out of his first college.

He told me his mother was willing to accept all kinds of excuses from him.

"I was just holding it for a friend."
"I found it."
"I have no idea how it got there."
"Honestly, it's not mine. I don't do drugs or alcohol."
Convoluted tales he would make up, such as the recycling story.

OP, honestly, do you believe that a 16 year old teenage boy is making art of recyclables? C'mon. If you do, give his parents a call and find out. Because I have a hard time believing in such a project, and if it is going on, that his parents allow him to go through the trash and take liquor bottles home for his project. WOULD YOU?????


OP, wise up.


Does he have a friend who makes art from recyclables? It should be pretty easy to determine.

The kids are master liars, even the 'good' ones.

I would believe him.

To a fault, my son doesn't lie. Even when he's done something that warrants a punishment. His father is a liar. DS defines himself against his dad in this way.

As long as he tells me the truth, we just work it out. We agree on a punishment and keep it moving.

DD on the other hand...I hardly believe her when she tells me her name. That girl!

OP here, very surprised to see my thread back up on recent topics.

Yes, he does have a friend who makes recycled art.
