[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope it's a wake-up call to the Wootton parents who don't care their kids are drinking and drugging as long as the grades stay up.   :([/quote]
EVERY parent of a teen needs a wake-up call. If your kid is lying, start to verify their stories. Stop believing the continuing lies. Just stop, so your kid can start to respect you again.[/quote]

Okay, so you GPS your kid and catch them lying.

Then what? You take away the car and their phone and ground them.

And they sneak out, then what?

Do you chain them to their bed?[/quote]
The right response isn't the same for every kid. I know nothing about your kid, but if your kid is ignoring you to that degree, it can't hurt to stop by your local police station and see what their advice is. I know this issue is common, so I'd expect they may have some useful information to share. Would you do that as a beginning?[/quote]

So you would seek the help of police! Hmm. Okay?

I have 23 nieces and nephews and 3 kids. I get all kids are different. But you think you have control. You don't.

The police will say they are 18 and you have no legal recourse. Drop to your knees and pray they live until they move off to college and return with a little more sense.... Because 99% of the time that is all you can do.[/quote]
I'm sorry, but it's your responsibility to stop supporting an 18 year old kid who's walking all over you. You DO have a say, as long as you're forking over money to maintain his lifestyle. You've got to be joking if you think this will correct itself in college.[/quote]

What money. My child is on merit aid and a stipend. I don't give them money.
