As I've said before, I've tried the tough approach, to no avail. So maybe now is the time for compromise and bargining. Maybe turn a blind eye at the weekends as long as his schoolwork is done during the week.

What I really would like him to do is, lay off the cannabis altogether, untill he's able to take a more responsible attitude towards it and use it purely recreationally. Maybe that's just a pipe dream.
You, sir, are a master of the pun.

Anyways, the compromise sounds like a good idea. As long as he does his schoolwork, that is. I'm glad to hear everything's going better (I think). I'd like to see your son laying off until he starts doing better in school as well, but hey, you have to take the good and the bad, right?

And yeah, I just got through listening to the opening theme song of facts of life.
