And I thought my dad was out there when he gave me a beer after a long day of working in the hot sun when I was 17. (Legal age was 18 back then)

For boys taking away their video games as punishment will do it.

For girls the cell phone is the soft nerve.

Rewarding young teens with cocaine sounds like a very bad idea.

lol. My mom would let me have parties where everyone could have a “beer each”. We all got sloshed every time. I was 16. Everyone was at most eight or ten houses away. Poor dad had died and I took advantage of mom.. I’ve gone to confession since :)

As for bribing with drugs, I do the same with my cat...he’s a catnip junkie and needs treatment

Have you been to Largo? I have. “Suburb” doesn’t really describe Largo.

Drugs are bad, but at least they were subjecting their kids to homeschooling!

......the father snorted cocaine with the teens and one of his daughter’s boyfriends..... ______________________________________________________________________________________________ And which daughter; the 13 y.o. or the 14 y.o. has a dope head boyfriend who is old enough to have a truck? These folks put the work "fun" in dysfunctional.
