[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 129724, member: 1835"] Just my .02 cents...I wouldn't waste my breath on discussions with a presumably intelligent (??) 18-year-old about why a backpack-full of beer isn't okay. He certainly already knows and probably gets a huge kick out of getting you to react. My father gave me some advice years ago which I wish I'd taken and which would have saved me and my husband a lot of stress and frustration had we done so...that was to stop reacting (including talking) and start acting. All the loving heart-to-heart discussions we had with our son when we actually believed love was enough got us no further than the angry confrontations and all simply resulted in a lot of useless dialogue.
