[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 151590, member: 1233"] I have a child who still has magical thinking. He really is an intelligent kid, he really does "get" a lot of things he doesn't want us to know he "gets"'. If he refuses to try, then he WILL be on his own at 18. Gma is pretty tired of his grades stinking because lack of effort. She and Gpa will let him live with them during the vocational program that extends 1 year beyond high school IF he is doing certain things. Refusing to work unless he can work at a specific store (that can barely pay the light bill and the rent, with just the owner working there!) is NOT one of the things they will tolerate. If your son refuses to put any effort into life, maybe it is time for him to have to be in a position with-no $$ for food, etc and a temporary shelter so that he MUST put some effort out, or discover the real life consequences. If he is 18, I would not have a problem with it, esp with him refusing to try to meet goals because he "doesn't DO effort" = that right there is an invitation to ME to put him out. Good luck, Susie [/QUOTE]
