Family Matters - kid finds stash

[AlwaysBlazed]

Yeah you should smoke with your son, I wish my dad would smoke with me. He says I need to wait until im 18 until he will fully accept it to the point of blazin with me and sharin his stash and stuff. Most of my $$ also comes from them and I wouldn't be able to buy through him because they think im spending money on video games and clothes =P

OH NOES! Youre leaving us hangin with the story man!

also, remember to make sure it stays between you two about this. i know kids who kaze with their paretns and talk about it at school. no. leave it between u two so friends parents dont become aware of the situation

I liked what Phoenix said a lot. And that's what I'd have done. Confront him. Be honest about both the pros and cons. Lay down some fairly restrictive ground rules, both about smoking and being discreet. Then be ready to enforce those rules.

Any self-respecting, attitudinal 15-year-old will see what his dad does and immediately justify to himself that he's entitled to do the same thing. That's when he needs an attitude adjustment and another review of those ground rules, along with a reminder that kids still have fewer rights, whether they like it or not. (Mine never liked it at all.)

I'm guessing you made issue of the fact that he lied and sneaked around and stole, right? Those, to me, are the far more troublesome issues here. . . .

That, or put the joint on the table and if the kid says "thats not mine!" then you'd be like "Haha, I know. Its mine, you wanna' blaze or what?"

Haha! I love this Idea.

[smoke it]

but ground him for lieing and stealing

wat he said

I have no kids but believe that honesty is the only way to go. Be blunt or brutal but, be honest. Tell him what is up and the consequenses for boosting anymore of your stash.
If it was me, I would say "smoke your weed but don't smoke mine or I will break your fingers. But do not let anyone know that I know you smoke or I will take away your privilage until you are old enough by law {18} to do as you will."

Wow. really good, helpful stuff.

It went really well. I want to thank everyone for their considerate answers. When I have time, I will give the long version of what happened. I'm feeling pretty good about it and I think he is too. We're not sparking anything up yet, maybe down the road. Again thanks, and I'll be back.

Glad to hear things went smoothly. :thumbsup:

Dude blaze up with your son and tell him it's okay but that it's not cool to steal from someone else's stash and that he should try to hit you up with a nug or two from his next bag.

I think what you shoulld do, when the opportunity arises, that you drop a hint that smoking weed is okay and that you are totally cool with it. of course without letting him know that you know he smokes. your son will probably come around and tell you. i mean i when my dad said its he's done it with his friends, i totally told him i smoked. he didnt mind at all.
he's probably just scared he'll get punished or something.
id just casually drop that i dont mind weed and that smoking it responsibly is okay. he'll fess up.
