[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 273291, member: 7083"] Oh, he wants to work. He works as many hours as he can get and goes when called in. Thing is, he can make it to work and to go play with his friends, but he can't make it to school. That's why I told him that if he didn't make it to school on time today he wasn't going to work. That seems to be the only thing that motivates him. He does pay for his cellphone and car. I called him and left him a voicemail earlier and told him to plan on staying where he was tonight. If he keeps up this attitude, he'll be moving out when he turns 18. I told his girlfriend that she can still move in. :D I'm just fed up and done. The last few months have been hell with him. The last 2 weeks have been even worse. He does these complete 180's. Everything is going great or it's going horribly. There is no in between. And when he decides he's not mad anymore, we're supposed to just get over it and everything is supposed to be ok. But, he holds onto things forever. I'm not going to walk on eggshells with him anymore. He's already said he's not going to do summer school. And I don't see him going back next year. I guess a GED will be in his future. It's so unnecessary and so frustrating. He's had tons of support, yet all he says is that we're being B's and not being supportive. The only way any of us could have been more supportive is if we did the school work for him. :tearinghair: [/QUOTE]
