How Do You Knock A Bit Of Sense Into Someone?
38 Answers
Don't know whether be angry or relieved....or both.
My son went out with his mate last night (apparently going to visit another friend). My sons mate was quiet inebriated and I suspect my lad had had a joint or two. When I woke this morning it was apparent that my son had not been back home since, nothing unusual there, he often sleeps over at his mates. However this afternoon his mates brother came knocking, asking if Id seen either of them today, and then told me that they'd been in a car collision last night. Eventually managed to get through on the phone to my son who told me that he had been in a car with his (drunk) mate. A car that has no tax/insurance and his mate doesn't have a driving licence. Theyd hit a parked car and drove off and my lad decided that he wasn't going to hang around and got out of the car and went to stay at another mates for the night. His mate who was driving later got arrested for drink driving.
I knew that his mate had a car that wasn't legal and didn't have a driving license and warned my son on numerous occasions NOT to get in with him. What on Earth possessed him to get in a car with a drunk driving it I have no idea.
Short of hitting him on the head with a hammer, I have absolutely no idea of how to knock a bit of sense into him. Angry that he continues to be a tool but relieved that hes alive.
(and relieved that no-one was killed last night)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Thanks andy, I often tell him that I love him (yeah yeah, I can perhaps be seen as a 'modern' man...I hug him as well as tell him that I love him) and tell him that thing will work out etc. But just cant see the sense in getting in a car that is been driven by someone who can hardly walk, never mind drive.
What does he think about it now, nailit? I don't think you can do much more than carry on exactly as you are. My daughter was a nightmare for a couple of years as a teenager... and it is frustrating because you know they should know better. Can he or does he go to college or anything that gives him some responsibility?
Nailit....you do seem to have severe problems with that lad of yours and you of all people, really don't need any more problems, that's for sure.
From what you have said in the past, your son doesn't work and he hasn't signed-on, so one wonders where he gets the money from to sustain his dodgy life style ?

Really sorry to hear the news nalit. As others have said i don't see there is much we can do apart from sympathising.
I hope the police do not get your sons name and drag him into this.
I give this link as a warning , it May just May be possible that your son could be charged with aiding and abetting drink driving , if he knew the driver was drunk and still got into the car

I really hope it does not happen but I just think you should be warned that it may be a possibility.

jno, agreed and I could certainly have done stuff different.
Pix, hes now made an unemployment claim at least. When I spoke to him earlier he just seems to shrug it off as one of those things.
Mikey, it seems that his mates have got a bit of money from somewhere, my problems are my own, his probs are his.

I think Nailit knows only too well what *could* have happened. He also knows...as many of us do before him...that you support your kids no matter what. They need to know that. With that support and instilling the right values, kids will invariably turn out to be fine adults.
And Nailit's sons lifestyle is no more dodgy than many in his age group. At least he has a dad who loves him...many don't.
