Re: My son is a total pothead loser slacker, what should I do?
Hang in there, they tell me every thing we instill in them comes back to us. I am hoping for this to. My son is 17 and not travelling a sucessful path as well. It is fear that allows me to let him puff in our home and I hate it. I am moving sep 30th and finally said. Either your done and get it together. Letting go is the hardest thing I have ever done. Leavin me ex was a breeze compared to this. I love him too much to watch. I've tried everything. His father has supported 100% I know this, as long as we allow it around us we are giving permission with out saying it. I have made this huge mistake. We are not perfect, If we were.. we would have perfect children. It's not his job that defines the man it is the man him self. I told my son you have been arguing and hating me for so long you forgot about the love we have for another. Try this....if he loves you and respects you he will not disrespect you in your home. He is not a little boy anymore. Let him go! When he needs your help he will come back to you. Maybe only then he will listen. The other pot heads out here that know it all have no idea what you are going thru. The love for our children is unconditional. We want them to be successfull. If they smoke pot and were honor students, respectiful and motivated to do something it would not bother us so much. Pot is not for everyone!!!! It's the addict that denies and says we are crazy. Remember you are not.

Stop being such a douche for one.

Maybe you should smoke with your son, and then you can understand why it's such a hit (pun intended).

I can't stand fathers like you.

Our society has become overun by slacker sons. Many factors are involved. I thought I was the only one going through this until I talked with other fathers where I work.
Here is a book that gives some insight to the EPIDEMIC, but, no panacea. [link to www.boysadrift.com]
While this is an epidemic, it is a reflection of our school system and society as a whole.
Here is a link to a great chronological record of what has happened to our "educational system".
[link to www.deliberatedumbingdown.com]
you can buy the book or DL the .PDF. Either one is eye opening and though provoking and asks the question why are we <10 in almost ALL education categories in the WORLD?

"Refuses to join military"

Personally I consider $8/hour doing pizza a much better choice
than the military at this point. There are multiple wars going
on, anyone who joins is likely going to be in combat.

Plus if you deliver to rich areas of town, they give pretty good tips. And you can eat free pizzas all the time and get fat without paying for it.

Re: My son is a total pothead loser slacker, what should I do?
Dad,
I'm 20 years old. I have a job. Do you know how many don't have jobs? I have one. Does that mean anything? It doesn't pay what you think I should make, but I perform an important service, cooking for others, delivering their food.

It gives me money to do what I want. Do you know what I want, Dad? Do you care what I want?

I don't want to join the military. I think it's wrong to kill people because someone tells me to.

So I smoke a little, snort a little. I want to enjoy life and not think about all the problems, the wrongs, the injustice, the hypocrisy.

Sure I've been busted for drugs. I don't think the laws are fair, necessary, or even legal. Should I set out to change that? Would that embarrass a military man?

Do you see what the world is like? How long will it go on? Wouldn't you like to enjoy it while it lasts?

I don't save. Why should I give the bank my money, knowing they may steal it like they've stolen everything else they can get their hands on.

I took a class for you, Dad. Did you know it was for you? I don't want to go to college, don't want to join the military, don't want to have 6 figures in the bank. But I took the class. It was saying, I love you, in a way I can't verbalize.

I don't know yet what I want, but know clearly what I don't want. I'm 20 Dad. Only 20. Maybe some day I'll be as wise as you. Maybe I'll even make some of the choices you made, but until then, help me find myself.

I'm sorry about your cars. You know I'm sorry. I'm sorry you feel the way you do. But know this, Dad. I love you. And would love nothing more than having the love returned.
Love,
Your Son
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 791743


Grow up you spoiled little fuck. You want to do drugs? Please don't change your behavior on account of me. Find yourself a place to do them 24/7 whenever the desire strikes you because you won't be doing that shit in MY HOUSE. Once you find out that the rent, food, insurance, cable, water, sewer, vehicles, gas and tax money doesn't grow on the tree in the backyard, you'll think twice about buying that dime bag. Get your priorities in order and stop being a leech.

Love Dad

smash his bong over his head several times while telling him to go get a life and get a girlfriend with her own place that can cook and clean as he cant do it himself..

its the only thing i can see missing in your post.

i would assume he wouldnt get into the military, drug tests and all.

to be honest he is also probably dwelling on the fact he is on a shit wage with no savings and could probably have done better if he went to college. its never too late to learn either.. might not be ivy league but im sure he could get somewhere.

Explain to your son that you love him, and because of that you are going to have to incrementally turn the screws on his freeloading.

Give him several options such as, stop smoking dope, a minimum college workload or training at some trade. Give him milestones to pass, which if failed result in increased rent payment requirements or possible loss of housing.

You will have to back up your threats. As for the BMX biking, well that's just cool. Tell him you'll support it if he can find a way to make money doing it. Either via competition or selling/building equipment etc.

Is your son still playing evercrack? At 20? What a fag...OP, please post some pictures of him! By the way, he's not a loser simply by virtue of smoking weed, the whole package is what makes him a fuck...even at least if he was bagging some snatch in the process he'd have one redeeming quality but that seems unlikely...I'd recommend you just embarrass the shit out of him, maybe he'll reconsider his lifestyle choices. The hardass approach clearly isn't getting through to this 8 year old in a 20 year olds body...
