[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 507155"] Yeah I know all too well about those half done jobs and agreements!! Given that he is getting good grades, I might pay it also but definitely have a major condition.... like not getting his liscense until he has paid you back. Does he have a car or is it your car he would use if he did get his liscense... cause I am not sure you can actually prevent him from getting his liscense. I cant say the lessons lasted... because my difficult child is certainly not getting it at all... but I will say that 2 weeks in jail was a big wake up call for him at the time. He learned that that old bravado I don't care if I am in jail is a bunch of hooey.... he really hated being there and for a while did work at recovery afterwards. Unfortunately right now I see jail as the best option for my difficult child.... So for your difficult child it might be a good wake up call... but it is hard to predict the effects it will have on them and I certainly understand wanting to help him stay in school... and maybe the judge will see it differently if he learns he is doing well in school?
