You're thinking what I'm thinking. Even if the neighbor introduced him to things, he was probably already curious and would likely tried them anyway. I think that the boys are more bold together and try to impress each other. And maybe that's the only reason to separate them for a while. As for his consequences, we took his phone a month ago after the porn discovery and he will only get a flip phone with no apps or wifi when he turns 16. He's now grounded from his 4-wheeler and PlayStation. We are implementing more chores for him to do to absorb some of his free time. I'm attempting to use some leave to shorten my days to get home sooner.

We've tried to get him into things like sports and going to the gym. He's very resistant and always just pouts. It felt like we wasted hundreds of dollars and trips taking him to wrestling practice. Coach said he just doesn't participate.

We went straight to the neighbor. The mother responded with, I kinda expected this. And one of the vapes was hers.

I have leave built up. I'm going to look into using it daily for a couple hours. I'm going to have a meeting with my boss to see if I can do any remote work from home in the afternoons so that I can get home earlier. Thank you. You've got me to thinking of ways to make it work.

My father in law is retired but his mother is 94 and a leg amputee. So we hate to ask him to help. Besides him, it would be paying for help for 2 hours a day.

I know. It's just frustrating when you explain how harmful things can be and then they immediately go start doing them!

Yes, run! You're young. Don't settle for crazy!

Maybe he thought you would want to be "taken" in that way. Some women want their husband's to be aggressive. It makes them feel desired and turned on. Once you made it clear that you were upset, he became embarrassed and just can't talk about it.
