[QUOTE="enzo, post: 635936, member: 13268"] So, we sent difficult child to a college he really wanted to attend that is perfect for him. Beautiful campus, beautiful people, easy academics. He's popular and having fun but overdoing the partying and missing classes and assignments due to being tired, run down, easily swayed by others to blow off class, studying, assignments...you name it. Classic ADHD, never misses an opportunity to shoot himself in the foot. We are up his a@@ (after letting him sink or swim and seeing him sink). School has good support and there is a freshman success coach who is also after him, who difficult child likes and respects. We've told difficult child he has til 11/1 when next semester tuition is due. If he hasn't turned it around, he'll move back home and go to community college (which stinks for us because he's a 24/7 pita). He gets it, but is a moth drawn to the brightest light. Can't see him committing and being disciplined. Doesn't see consequences are a result of his own actions (never has)...I know he'll look back and regret blowing it. But he's too preoccupied with not missing any fun whatsoever. Almost manic in his frenzy to always be having fun.. Any advice from been there done that's? Thx! [/QUOTE]
