[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are so judgmental.  OP already acknowledges that she has been negligent due to an older SN child.  This can happen to any kid who falls in the wrong crowd.  It happened to DD’s old friend from a W school.  Fell into wrong crowd, was drinking, vaping, marijuana, sleeping around in 9th grade.  Started slowly in middle school.  Parents pulled her out and ended up moving to a small town in a different state.  Some of the same issues persisted. Basically, you can’t run away from the issue.  Kid will find the same fast crowd wherever they move.  Both parents were super attentive.  Mom was SAH, very involved.  She was on PTA, volunteered at school.  She did everything that most people are discussing on here.  I knew the family for years and was shocked as well.  A lot of these issues are a lot more prevalent than most on here realize. [/quote]

Sorry, judgement is called for here. Her 13 year old has been doing this a long time and she had no clue. She’s that checked out and it has put her daughter at enormous risk. She deserves to feel judged and shamed then she might actually parent her poor kid. [/quote]

And you are without fault?

So many frickin glass houses you people are living in.  Karma is a beeeeyatch.  Watch out ladies.[/quote]

Not without fault but damn, why are you willing to excuse lax parenting? I’m not telling all parents they’re doing a great job. Some aren’t. And the kids are the ones who pay. [/quote]

No one on this thread is *excusing* lax parenting.  People are calling for some understanding for OP and helpful advice instead on useless, mean condemnation by people who don't deserve to give parenting advice. There is a huge difference between lax parenting and struggling because you have a SN child.  The fact that  you don't get this indicates you are not a good person and have nothing to offer OP.[/quote]
