Meh. The pron wouldn't bother me. But him expecting *me* to pay for it would. Two totally separate issues. The way I see it, this situation is really not *that* big of a deal, but provides you with an opportunity to talk to your son about a number of important issues. I mean, it ain't like you caught him smokin' another dudes sausage for drug money. Over react here and you risk alienating your son and discouraging him from coming to you in the future when he has questions about any number of life's problems. That's not to say punishment/repercussions aren't in order. Just be fair, level-headed, articulate what it is that you are (and aren't) upset about, that you love him, and let him know that *you* know that growing up isn't easy and that you don't expect perfection from him. And I say play it cool: do what you can not to publicly humiliate him over this in front of his mother/siblings/family/etc. This is a prototypical father-son issue that ought to be worked out between the two of you.

Good advice here.

 

I need to react differently, due to my son's background, but anyone who has not adopted an abused child should definately follow this advice.
