Want to strangle and at the same time, hug my 15 year old. Found pot this week. We can't be too hard, cause we certainly tried it when we were kids. But at the same time, there are some more dangerous drugs out there these days and we need to stop it now. Unfortunately, we are going to start drug testing him on a regular basis. Bummer. For us and him. I don't like that he will be humiliated and I don't like being the one to do it. Oh well.... being a parent isn't and easy job.
The other kid is just as infuriating. (She is 21.) Yelled at me until I and my husband quit smoking, then a month later told me that if either my husband or I started smoking again, she would cut off communication with both of us. She does not want me to tell her how to live her life, but she is so quick to tell others how to live. She thinks that as long as the other person is CLEARLY doing wrong, that it is her obligation to MAKE them change. I do wish she would grow up a little more. Again, being a parent isn't an easy job. Even once they are grown. In some ways it is even more difficult.
