“Mom, have you ever tried tequila?” My 15 year old asks me in the car. “Ummm, yeah.” “Dad asked me if I wanted to try the tequila while we all went on a tequila tasting in Mexico.”I don’t want him to stop telling me things if I flip out. So I told him, “Watch your Dad and his antics to get you to drink alcohol. That’s a bad path in this family. It would not be good for you. I know your Jamaican friends are cool with underage drinking, but really be safe.”I’m terrified as his dad is a binge drinker. He drinks copious amounts on the weekends and gets belligerent. His Dads grandma asked me when my son was 3 if she could give him a sip of her crown and coke. They party hard, and do other messed up stuff that I can’t get into talking about here.How do I teach him differently? When the other side is pulling him down a path that compromises and manipulates in upper class suburbia. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2CXQGGl
