[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 373506, member: 6546"] FW-- You say this is a "sink or swim" year for difficult child. What does that mean exactly? What are his prospects after school? If he is on his way toward an academic scholarship and football might interfere with that....I would say make him drop the sports. Other than that, I think you should let him decide for himself. If school is a drag and football is the big thing that is motivating him (and he has to keep his grades up to be eligible for the team)....then let him play. If he cannot keep up with his grades and therefore is no longer eligible to play....natural consequences. Mom has nothing to do with it. If he loses his job and cannot afford to keep driving....natural consequences. I know it stinks--but he needs to learn one way or another. [/QUOTE]
