  • Take the money his grandmother sends him away and get him into to a drug program before you lose comtrol. Take the money and put it in a college savings, he is 15 and you are in charge.
  • Mabye Nanny thinks its a good idea he has pot. Its sure as hell better than beer.
  • Realise that this is yet another area where you have no power. That doesn't mean that there is nothing you can do indirectly. Just tell everybody who knows his grandma that she is enabling him to get and smoke pot. You don't have to 'handle' her - she's an adult and has to live with her conscience. You have asked her not to help your son do something that you consider harmful; beyond that, there is nothing you can do with her.
  • The question here is not how to handle HER. But how to handle HIM. At 15, kids think they rule the world and nothing you tell them will really make them listen. You have to find what he is really interested in and use it. Try making a deal with him on a partner-type level, instead of trying to just MAKE him listen to you. Like, say if he is really interested guitars, you could make a deal with him, that if he saves his money from grandma, and doesn't smoke pot, you will put in an equal portion to purchase a really nice guitar. Try positive reinforcement with HIM, try not focussing on his grandma, she is just doing what grandma's do... It's like others here have said, even if she stopped sending him money, he would find another way to do it. Good Luck!
  • Yeah From the question I was most certain that this was not your mom and in fact his dad's mom. What is it with guys mom's I dont get it. I would tell her where her place is, if she cant understand that then she doesnt need to see the kid or talk to him. Tell her to get her head out of her ASS and wake up and smell the POT. There are alot of other things that are worse that he could do, but it is still illgal and she is basically supporting the habit. STOP SENDING MONEY GRANDMA. When he is an adult he can do as he wishes but him only being 15 makes you liable for everything that he does. TOUGH LOVE!!!!
  • I dont think that a Baby and a 15 year old are the same. You can definlty trust a 15 your old by himself, why is that because they make....What is it called Oh yeah, GOOD DECISIONS. Something you believe kids are uncapable of. I think someone like yourself, should have a sock taped in there mouth inabling them to talk and spread BS such as this. If Kids were so uncapable, the world would be doomed to rely on parents. Or TV. This is not about the grandma enabling. Its about LIFE. Whats life about, making your own decisions and choosing for yourself, because someone is always going to disagree, but you can't change what you are. You just Are. One day you'll realize that you can lock your kids and chains an yell at them how they think, but no matter what they will come to there own conclusion. By the way, If you've ever known any suicidal kids, one thing they normally have in common is that they lack a good relationship with there parents. Parents are the one lifeform, that feel they have complete control over another being, sometimes rendering them deaf and Blind to there childs concerns.
  • Time to let the Kid make his decisions, Maybe you could help guide him, by advising him not to bring his Marijuana in places where it may lead him in trouble. Seeing as our country is so dumb to have a Plant Banned.
  • By watching your son to see if your mom has sent him any money, and if she did, take the money away from him.
  • Here is what needs to happen. You NEED to get him help! From what i have read, he has done a hell of a lot of shit to screw himself over. I am a teenager, and whenever possible, i try to stop things like this from happening. Here is what you need to do. File for custody again. Sue if you must! Get whatever evidence you can get, and get him the hell away from dad and grandma! In the meantime, tell grandma that she needs to stop. Tell her to look back at the kids history. Ask her if she wants him to become a dead-beat on the side of the road. She needs to understand what he does with that stuff. Then, possibly talk to somebody about "probation rehab", where he would have to attend drug reabilitation, and if he missed a appointment or had drugs in him, he would spend maybe like a week or less in jail. They could help him. I am at your sons age, and I know how much he wants to be a adult, but there is some shit that can kill your hopes and dreams, and I know it, and he needs to know it. I am not trying to be rude, but fuck grandma, your son is who you should be worried about. You need to ask him what he dreams of being, then tell him that the road he is on will crush those. Tell him and show him the damage that pot does. Take him to a true rehab center next time you see him. He needs help, and if you have ANY more questions, PM me and i will send you my email address. I want to save other teens lives as much as anybody!

  • Smoking pot may not kill you from an overdose, but it does impair your judgement and kill job opportunities for the future. Are there any councillors you can ask about this? you are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
