[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 359600, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, I hope the move goes well. Good luck with the assembly - don't forget your allen key! Sharon/WO, enjoy your warm weather. I hope you can get to book club, it's important to have time to do things for yourself. SFR, enjoy the jog. Me - I prefer to walk... We've had another quiet ay here today. I left difficult child 3 to study undisturbed today. He's been complaining tat I nag too much. I've said that if i don't nag, he doesn't get work done. He asked me to leave him alone to work by himself, so I did - and he did one page. We have an incentive - if he can work solidly, without distraction, for half an hour continuously, he earns a mini chocolate bar. And I can trust him to be honest about it. I asked him this afternoon, "Do you think you earned a chocolate bar today?" and he had to admit he had not. I then said, "I found that you had been reading a magazine again, and you only did one page. We're signing off on that one page, you have to explain yourself to your teacher. And I left you alone today, and you still did not do any better. In fact, I think you did worse." He then admitted that he has to lift his game. So hopefully - at least one lesson learned. Every day now, every morning first thing, he is getting a phone call asking if he has started work yet. He now realises he needs it. Tomorrow afternoon we leave to get difficult child 3 to the dentist, while I will get a bit of shopping done. mother in law is coming too. I've been busy sewing stage costumes today, I've got most of the tricky stuff finished. I need to have those costumes completed for a photo call on Sunday. Anything more I can do, is a bonus. Enjoy your Thursday. Marg [/QUOTE]
