We established that SS has no problems thieving and thought illegal drugs were no problemo.  Ah...but DH did not think either were ok.

DH, while he is good now, is no saint.  His own father is an alcoholic..on and off dry and as such DH didn't have a lot of parental guidance or supervision when he was young.  Did he make some questionable choices?...oh yea.  (Marrying Beaver would be the chief questionable choice..but hey I married the VI so I have 0 room to talk).

DH, however did not want to be his parents and certainly did not want his kids going down his school of hard knocks path.  DH did wise up and flew right, got a degree, found his career path and become a model citizen.  However, that took until his late 20' to early 30's.  

In our last episode SS was caught selling what he though was weed to kids on the bus. Got SS through 7th grade, had SS change from the getto school at his moms to the good school in our district.  Beaver agreed to this after her attorney pretty much told her she didn't have a shot in hades of keeping SS in the getto school based on the school scores and SS entry into the world of drugs.  So, she slapped her beaver tail a few times and then agreed.

SS made it through Freshman year with good grades, good friends, was on the homecoming court.  All was looking good.  SS turned 16 at the end of freshman year and because he was doing so well DH rewarded him with a car.  Not a new car, a really nice used car.  All SS had to do was keep up his grades and stay out of trouble and DH would pay for the insurance, gas, etc.  It iwas the same sweet deal  we gave my DS and my DD.  (We now own a small fleet of cars...our driveway looks like a used car lot)

Then sophmore year hit.  It started out well, but then SS met some kid that shall we say was questionable.  Niether DH or I liked this kid, he had a vibe about him that just said he was trouble.  All of sudden SS didn't want to play football.  WE made him...WTF..(no we didn't) and DH said fine then quit.  Find something else to do...What does SS decide he wants to do...be a RAPPER.  

MMMM...say what.  SS 

Alrighty then...we roll on.

SS's grades start to tank...not just tank but a nose dive into the Marianna Trench.  DH is now up SS's butt about his grades and all over SS to do his school work. After all, wtf else does SS have to do.  

SS is also sleeping ALL THE TIME...I mean 16 hours straight.  I thought this was odd and DH thought it was suspicious. However, we couldn't find anything.  We suspect SS is using when he is at Beaver's.  You know because she is not about that parenting thing...she wants to be the skids friiiiieeeeeennnnnnd.  (puke)

One day during the fall, DH gets a Beavergram that SS was sick but he would still drop off SD to our house in the moring before school.  (On Beaver's week the kids came to our house before school and after school since they were going to school in our district now).  MMM...say what...if SS is that sick he has to stay home from school  WTF is he doing driving across town.  DH tells Beaver..ok but that SS can just stay at our house if he is sick and that he will tell SS when he got to our house.

In walks SS dressed to the nines and all carefree.  DH informs SS that he will be staying here and not going back to his moms.  Ut oh.....SS is now PISSED.  DH is now suspicious and tells him to hand over his phone.  (We paid for the phone).  STart going through the phone and find pictures of SS smoking weed, smoking a pipe..and it wasn't tobacco, etc.  At this point, DH had come to the conclusion SS wasn't sick and had a planned a day of getting high with his "friend".   

Now...SS is obviously not the brightest bulb...because why would you take pictures and keep them.  I mean how much of an idiot can you be?

DH was LIVID.  DH tells SS,the car is gone for the indefinate future and you are grounded for the indefinate future and the phone is now on lock down.  Sends the pictures to Beaver.  

Beaver calls..oh my I had no idea. I don't think taking the car and phone are a good idea.  He shouldn't have to give up EEEEEVEERRRRRTHING.  DH is all like hell he shouldn't.   This isn't the first time..what do you think will happen if he gets arrested?  Beaver just can't believe her BAAAAAAAAABBBYYYYYYYY would do anything like this.

SS gets picked up that afternoon and goes back to Beaver's den.  Beaver then proceeds to tell SS that DH shouldn't make a big deal out this since DH did these things as a kid.  DH is a hypocrite and that she "understands" how hard it is for SS.

We found all this out from SD, who lacks a filter, etc like her dad.  

SS kept trying to tell DH that it was the first time he did anything, that he wouldn't do it again.  DH could TRUUUSSTTT him.  He learned his lesson.  DH was not buying it and would not budge.  SS would still come over but now would hide in his room and barely spoke to DH.  (We would later find out why he was hiding in his room).  The text messages between Beaver and SS were now fast and furious.  DH was an *hole for not giving SS his car back ...blah, blah, blah..  Its all DH's fault...SS would never do anything if DH wasn't so mean to him.  Beavers wholeheartedly agrees...DH is the worst and he was/is so mean to her.

And this was the beginning of the end..the end would come a few months later when SS would get caught yet again doing drugs.
