[QUOTE="1905, post: 538440, member: 2668"] I would announce it to him, heck yes. Not in a way that would sound like you expect him to fail, but in a way that says, "This is the end of the line." Say it in a way that will open his eyes a little further to consequenses of bad choices he may make. Tell him his entire financial future rides on his performance here. Tell him how much money he'll make doing a minimum wage job, and how hard that job will be. Tell him how a job of his choosing will be fun, not even work, which is the most important thing of all. Try to light a fire under him so he'll never want to fail there. Some boys are so immature. I have an 18 yr old who just flunked physics because well, he already got accepted to college and that was the end of any effort. I'm scared he's going to waste my money as well. They may surprise us! [/QUOTE]
