I'm a single mom & have caught my son-15 chewing several times over the last 2 yrs. He was grounded each time for 2-3 wks (no phone, cell, tv, friends, music, activities) He hasn't for a while, but I just caught him again! His father gets him every other wkend & does not back me up in disciplining him (I have tried working w/him on this to no avail-- we've been divorced since my son was born) I do not have support from my family either. My son was suspended from school last yr for 7 wks for being the middle man in a drug transaction, my parents "babysat" him everyday while I was at work&made him work & he was completely grounded.That worked at the time(I also bought at-home drug kits for random testing-they cover everything incl. alcohol and nicotine) So even though I have these tests & he knows I'll use them, he continues to push me, knowing it will get worse for him each time. He's a good kid, we are very close & open.I don't care if "everybody else does it", HE is not allowed. HELP!
