[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 675659, member: 3493"] Defiant - I am not so sure that your son's getting up to go out after being sick is not typical teen behavior. I have 4 sons. Number 3 is 19 and in general a good kid, HS grad, probably quitting CC after one semester, is a volunteer firefighter. Last week, he was feeling so sick that he actually called me at 3 AM - on the phone, when his bedroom is across the hall! - to come take care of him. He didn't go to school. A couple of hours later, he's on his way out of the house with Difficult Child and a bunch of their friends to play basketball! "I feel much better, mom" was all he said. Perhaps the good meal and the good company invigorated him enough so that he felt well enough to go out. It's heartbreaking that these kids who are so bright and talented are their own worst enemies and the only prisoners they wind up taking are themselves. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
