You def also have a wife problem here. |
I don't know if this true or not, but I do know that from raising 5 successful boys, we dads have huge influence on them. They really do listen to us. But for this to happen, you need to have been in their lives from day 1. You can't suddenly choose to be a dad to a 10 years and expect him to listen to you at 14. I have friends who are divorced but they are outstanding fathers. Their ex wives may think otherwise, but one can be a great dad and yet a list spouse. Men in particular sometimes devote all their energy to their kids and neglect their wives. So OP don't give up. Keep talking to your son. Have a couple of days away with him just the two of you. Maybe go to a beach destination lay down by the beach and talk to him like you were talking to your friend (excluding some grown people topics of course). Trust me, this will get you closer to him. |
This is effective advice. |
| I would literally move towns to get away from whatever idiots are at school convincing him this is a good idea. Sounds like moving might not work for you though since your wife is one of the idiots. |
+1 Camels? 1990 is calling and they want their complaints back. |

Your wife is acting insane by letting your son smoke!!
I would NEVER consent to this. Allowing your son to smoke cigarettes 🚬 is encouraging your son to form a very destructive + lifelong habit that will not only be a waste of $$…..it will also subtract many years off of his life. No good can possibly come from him taking up this disgusting habit, unless your wife stops allowing your son to do this I would seriously leave her. For the mere sake of my son’s life. |
