[QUOTE="Fran, post: 206360, member: 3"] I think I would invite both dirt ball brothers to the house and set them straight that if ever they give drugs to your kid or even act like drugs are part of their lives or you sniff them in your home that you will call the police and turn them both in. Your job and your wife's job is to protect and teach your child. He must see that you apply consequences to the uncle's and not just him. If son is truly not using he must be encouraged to continue this way with the fear of being held to the same consequence that you discussed with uncles. The uncles are adults. They get caught, they get caught but you have a chance to turn son in a different direction. Of course, be prepared to follow through so that your son will take you seriously. Every one will be grateful that you just said NO. If family is unhappy then they get to deal with that themselves. You answer to no one but your conscience and your spouse. Everyone else is just peripheral. [/QUOTE]
