[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

The last 2 responses are interesting, but my concern is that a "family meeting" would make it more of an issue than it needs to be. Though I have suggested such a meeting previously to address some seriously disrespectful behavior to both my ex and me, it never happened.

[b]Maybe the best thing is to talk to her, and have her tell her mom, which I will then follow up on with my ex.  The problem is that D15 may manipulate and diminish the situation by telling her in a softened way.[/b]

Or maybe I ask my kid how she feels it should be handled both with regard to the weed and with her mother.  I remember when my parents would say "What do you think should happen as a result of &lt;incident/behavior&gt;?"  That was almost worse than a punishment.

Also, it's true that I would want to know and be furious if my ex didn't tell me.

I live on the west coast and attitudes out here are pretty lax about this stuff.  I find DCUM forum to be an excellent resource for all things family and parent related.

Thanks again for all the input.  [/quote]

you talk to her, have her talk to her mom, you follow up with your ex. [/quote]

I would do a 3-way Skype/FaceTime chat. That way all of you are on the same page regarding what information was exchanged and can address the situation together in real time without having the potential added drama of being physically co-located.[/quote]
