TEENAGE hairless apes do vex me

Two nights ago our oh so bright 14 year old son came home stoned. There are a number of issues that I have here on this. This is not the first time, My issues are that it is illegal, weather I agree or not it is a violation of the law. Made more so by the age of the offender. Then add on the fast that he has admitted to poor judgment when he went out and did shots on the 4th of July. Not that I care that he kissed a boy but what if one of his other group of friends (male or female) had offered him sex? Would he have the sense too wrap his meat? Judgment and a 14 year old with a chance to get laid any one want to guess who would probably win? And another issue was it was late and he was wearing dark colors and he likes to ride his skateboard. Gee how many times have I almost ran a skate punk over because I could not see him or her in the dark. To be fair people walking, riding bikes. Or just hanging out are responsible for being visible if the do not want to be a statistic.

I am in a catch 22-situation. If we discipline our son like he deserves and as his crime dictates, we gave him 2 weeks grounded to his room unless he is in the bathroom, doing his chores or eating, he is/has already told us a figurative “FUCK YOU” he is not going to abide by his punishment. So when he goes we will get Law Enforcement involved as a run away. They will put him in juvenile detention. (hopefully) when the judge discusses his case with us we will be wrong because he has no discipline. Yet, and I will state this to him “how can we discipline? You have hamstrung us by making discipline that is not followed illegal! If we resort to corporal punishment we go to jail. If a juvenile refuses to follow the rules of his grounding we cannot physically restrain him under the law. Yet we are responsible for his actions. That puts us in a predicament. I believe the term here is Damned if we do and damned if we don’t.”

You know Admiral Bob thought that once a young male became a teenager he should be raised in a barrel and fed through the bunghole (of the barrel you perverts) and when he turned 21 (show how old that was). You would look in the barrel and decide to open it or hammer in a bung plug. Well I now understand that.
