I agree that Brads parents are enabling him.
When she says I tell him do not go out;and then he goes out;tell him the door will be locked.
If he is not home at curfew,the door is locked.
If he smokes pot at thehouse -call the police and turn his butt in.
If he breaks something in the house that is not his;he must pay for it.
If he breaks any of the house rules,Brads mom says "Well I take his cell phone away"
How about putting a lock on the steering wheel of the car?
Kids need consequences for their actions.
Just because evryone at school drinks and gets high is not a reason for our children to do it.
Brad pulls his mom into arguments and she lets herself get pulled in to the arguments.
Dad needs to shape up and get his act together and mom needs to learn that tough love is not a bad thing.
Both father and son need anger management counseling
I had a teenager son who needed to learn he had to pay the consequences of his actions.
I called the police when I found he had stuff in his pocket;he was arrested and had to go to court.
I came down hard and it hurt to take that big step ;but I had to do it to save my son and it worked out.He is a total yurned around person.He is a great person!!!
