[QUOTE="P M, post: 609944, member: 62814"] I think talking, and being involved in their lives in general will provide you the answer. One other option is to have them get a job where it's required (many places now). Sometimes it's better to expose them to examples in the real world where this (or other things) will impact their lives. Two advantages, one, you don't have to be the bad guy all the time (at least not the only one), and two, they tend to not listen to parents anyway. Well, they do, they just won't admit it as easily. It has worked better for me to expose kids to the realities of life, in a controlled way, and let them see for themselves taht I'm really not making stuff up. Not suggesting you don't tell them right from wrong as well, just backing it up with other examples can be very helpful. Oh, 39M, with 14M & 16F [/QUOTE]
