How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

Let’s say your son/daughter wants to have a party. Would u provide alcoholic beverages for all their underaged friends that will be in attendance at the party?

My Ex wife had a birthday party for my son. At this party photos were taken. She and other adults were passing around a pot pipe. The oldest son told me they offered it to him and he refused. But he did admit that the mother was giving him and my younger sons alcohol. Childrens services told me that it is legal for a parent to give their child alcohol.
But is is Legal for adults to smoke pot around children?
I cant afford a lawyer. I want to find out how I could file the paper work through the court alone. I’m not sure how to do it and what is the laws concerning this? Does anyone have any ideas where I can read about laws in Ohio and what I can do? She and her boyfriend are also involved in criminal activities that I dont care to discuss in this forum, but will only say that they are involving my sons in this too.
I do have the photos and I had them enlarged. I just need to know now what is my next best step? I have called legal aid to try to get help and no one will even return my call. Money talks and no one is listening to me because I dont have money for a lawyer. Has anyone heard of this? I have been told there is a way to file papers through the library. The oldest son lives with me and he is willing to testify in court.

My son is turning one. His father and I are having family over, and I would like a low-key party where everyone is loosened up and relaxed. I want both sides of the fam to feel comfortable together, and possibly have a few simple and CHEAP games that we can play. We are very short on cash, so we really want an intimate and comfortable get together to celebrate my son’s first year of life.

What games can we play? How can I get both sides of the family to be comfortable with each other and talk? (preferably without alcohol) Any ideas? Let me know!

My son is going to be one years old soon and we’re planning a bday party. Obviously 1 year olds don’t have friends at the that age so it’s not like there is going tons of activities for the little one’s. I’m not going to have a keg or anything like a frat party, but some drinks for the adults, beer, wine, etc. What do you think?

We are having a football themed party for our son’s first birthday in November. The party is going to be during the Eagles game on Sunday. If everyone who is invited shows, there will be 5 kids (including my 1 year old) and 25 adults. I would like to serve alcohol (beer and wine) but my husband says it is innappropiate for a children’s birthday party. I say that it is a party for our son, but the adults want to have a good time too. Please give me your thoughts.
My son is the only grandchild on both sides of the family. He doesn’t have any young relatives, which is why there is mostly adults.
Also, the ages of children invited range from 12-24 months.
I am not talking about hard liquor here. Just beer and wine.
Thanks for the input. I should mention that the party is not on his birthday. We are spending his birthday with immediate family, having cake and opening presents. It is not my intention for people to get drunk. But I thought that since most of the adults are coming without kids, they would be bored with a kiddie party, which is why we thought to have it during the football game. The children/babies will have an area for them to play and interact.

I am sick of the media glamorizing Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsey Lohan, Tara Reid, etc etc etc by calling them “PARTY GIRLS.” This sends a dangerous message to young people. The reality is that these very troubled stars are DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS.
Perhaps the death of Anna Nicole Smith (and her son) will make the media STOP GALMORIZING DRUG ABUSE. I really hope so. What do you all think about this issue?

I’m thinking of having a punch with some rum for my son’s 18th birthday party–Most of my son’s friends are 19 and older (which is the drinking age in Ontario)..so would it really be wrong to have it?
