Gina Thats awesome. Its good to hear from you. How exciting to go to Hawaii and meet up with DH with no kids.:jiggy: Hope that you two have a wonderful time. Hows the little one doing???

Kim, LOL at them not wanting him out past the times you all set. He'll be running home as soon as he gets in trouble. You remember Curt doing this to us, right??? What was it, not even two weeks and he was back home. Give him some time. I'm sure that he will come to his senses. I'm...

I agree with Xero and Mom2many, you cannot be lazy as a parent these days. There are more and more things that we as parents have to be aware of and monitor. Things have changed since we were kids. More laws to follow, more school work to do, etc. Life isn't the school of hard knocks...

Humble. LOL But, I've been down this road with my brother, so I know not to trust this sudden change of heart. He's got a lot of proving to do here. He's been told that he WILL not move back under our roof, unless he gives up his "friends" that seem to help influence this behavior. We...

Oh, man. I have to agree, he needs to be monitored. The part that sucks about this, is that it feels as if you are being punished right along with him. Trust me I know. I do think that you can use past family history as an example for him, without pounding it to the point that he will try...

Kim, Its soooooo good to touch base with you. I hope that Donnie is doing better. I can't wait to catch up with whats been going on there. We left Sean in Jail, and his GF bailed him out on Wed. I'm hoping that it was enough time for him to think about whats important to him. He has been...

Well, he's out. And we didn't get him out. Somehow the GF came up with the money. My husband went down to talk to the bail clerk and wasn't happy when he came home. He asked them how they could release him to anyone but his parents, since he's still considered a minor in the state. They...

I agree. You need to teach them that the internet can be a wonderful tool. There is extensive information to be had, but also so much danger out there. Its scary these days, and I believe until you can trust that they will do the right thing, you need to monitor their activity.

Believe me, we have thought about that, long and hard. Some type of contract with him to assure that he follows the rules. I highly doubt that the court would help us enforce it though. The only thing that would help, is if they immediately put him on probation, after bail, and he has to...

Thats what I am afraid of. I'm not willing to let him continue this life style. I will NOT enable him to get out and cause more damage to himself or anyone else. This sucks, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I did quit answering the phone yesterday, when it showed up on caller ID...

Well, he's still sitting there. He's spent three nights there, and as far as I'm concerned he hasn't learned one darn thing from all of this. He refuses to put us on the list to come and visit him, but calls constantly, wanting us to bail him out. Our conditions, should we post bail, are...

I agree, since I had an algebra teacher that wouldn't/couldn't bring himself down to our level to show us how to solve the problems. We all had to pretty much rely on the book, and figure it out on our own. I skimmed by with a C in that class, the lowest grade I ever got, but could have done...

I'm sorry that she is putting you through this. The fact that her father is sick, could have her very scared, but its still no excuse for her treating you this way. She is going through a stage, I believe, that she's old enough to do what she wants, and doesn't have to listen to you. I...

No kidding! LOL Dang does make school work simpler, doesn't it???

I just hope that he wakes up and realizes that she is manipulating him with her lies. I don't know what else to do to convince him that it isn't true. <shrugs> I hate seeing other people turn him against us. Outside influence is always a battle, it seems with him. :(

You know, it isn't any easier for you now that your an adult than it would be if you were a child. I'm so sorry that it has come to this for them. I feel for you. As far as your kids go, you will just need to be honest with them. Let them ask questions, and answer them to the best of your...

Hahaha, I wish. She went and visited him today, and filled his head full of garbage. She told him that Myself and two other individuals were trying to press charges against her for assault. One of these people has been in Alaska for the past two weeks. She's keeping him paranoid, to keep...

Those are the golden words that I'm praying for. :notworthy: You know, we told our kids the same thing. No bail out, if you put yourself there. He's got to learn from this and god willing, he will never want to ever go back there again!!!

Thank you, both! You don't know how much it means to have other parents back you up. He did finally call tonight, asking that we bail him out. Man, you want to talk about hard, telling your child that he is going to stay there, and deal with the consequences, is very tough! I'm not...

GF came over yesterday bawling her eyes out. My son is in jail. We told her to bad, that we weren't going to get him out. He made his choices, and now its time for him to face his consequences. So the arraignment was today. Neither of us went to that either. We wanted to send a message to...
