[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not have to deal with this, luckily, but if I did, I would come down like a ton of bricks. I would say that the trust is broken, kid can’t be trusted, and I’d monitor everything. I’d search their room and read every text and take away car keys.

It’s just not okay. And I’d start laying all that out at age 11 or 12 and keep bringing it up now and then. The possible consequences are so severe, [/quote]

Agree, not ok. 
We tried this approach, 3 years ago, with my son. Nothing worked--took the phone, denied access to the car, basically had a police state in the house. Which was awful for everyone. He kept doing it. Sometimes I was calm, sometimes I was screaming. Nothing got through to him. The bottom line was that he wanted to make recreational marijuana use a priority. Long story short, he is now 19 and I think it's still something he enjoys regularly. He doesn't live with us. He has a job, and we're paying tuition for part time classes. We have basically agreed to disagree on the pot issue, but we get along fine. He still has a lot of growing up to do, and I still don't entirely trust him...[/quote

If he has money for pot he can pay his own tuition.[/quote]
