The night the cops rang around 1am and told us they had our kid I thanked them and hung up. They rang back. "Aren't you coming down to the station?"

"Nope, we know where he is now. We can sleep. You can keep him."

A night in the cells slowed him down for a while.

Yeah mate, years ago we had a lot of problems with one of ours, you name it drugs, stealing, getting into fights (he could handle himself, had a reputation for not giving up in a fight). We even had half a dozen cops come to our door one day, guns drawn looking for him. It is hard work steering young people onto the straight and narrow.He put his mother and I through hell!!

PS He is now 38 and we lost the war against drugs, he is still getting about but we rarely see him!!! Probably back in jail!!

Thanks. I am glad we are not the only ones.

Banjo - what we are saying is that it doesn't always work out well. You can give them all the love and advice you want but, if they have a mind to be prats, they will do just that.

Hang in there - when they get older and more responsible, they can be a delight again.

Our 'problem' child spent the weekend with us - brought his girlfriend with him. We actually enjoyed his company - but it has been a long hard road.

is fatty here to lazy again i am pass fuming...jason and myself just went out to jump start my crap again to put it back in the driveway and the neighbour across the road walked over pulled jas over to the front fence so i walked back up to see what was happening.That little ****ing snot nosed **** that came home with kayla and her boyfriend obviously decided that our cream coloured colourbond fence was to plain for his liking and graffittied on it I WANT TO MAKE HIM LICK IT OFF the mongrel
Have already looked in phone book unfortunately his parents aren't listed,what a shame was happy to ring and let them know what a lovely kid they have raised and seeing as he is theirs i will give them the opportunity to make him come and clean it before i ring the police and our real estate to pass on his details so that the real estate can make them pay the cleaning bill if he doesn't feel like it.Not us and i would like to let them feel very proud of their god-forsaken stupid child that does these kind of things in full daylight front yard busy road area.At the moment i have spoke to micayla and asked her how good is it to have friends like that....we get on pretty good with neighbours including one we share this fence with ...will wait and see how that goes.....thank goodness we will be moving...Sorry for the swearing but god i'm mad

Not nice, I would be bloody mad too!!

Problem with them at that age Fatty is once you say NO they go out and do the opposite just to rebel.
