[QUOTE="notsureeither, post: 531666, member: 14620"] Happy Mother's Days to all you parents! My two older kids could care less about Mother's Day, but atleast I hope the younger kid is bringing me coffee soon!! My son is going to pay to have the walls repaired. I am not going to get them repaired until he settles down. When these two holes get repaired, its going to cost HIM $$. I am in a emotional tug of war with him right now. The local high school here in town has a severe problem with drugs. He doesn't go to this high school. He goes to a high school that I have chosen for me because its stricter. For me, this is non negotiable, but he is fighting me tooth and nail. He loves a certain sport, but had problems with the HS coach because of not being placed on varsity due to attitude. My son blames everyone else; teachers, coaches, parents. Its every else's fault. He won't try in high school even though he tests high and if he studies, he does get good grades. So the only thing I can use as a carrot for him is work and his driver's license. However, if I take his work away then I know he will get into trouble over the summer. I have called the police twice a few months ago because he wouldn't listen, trying to scare him. They talked to him, that's all. I guess I'm afraid that if I call the police, he WILL go to jail and this will get the ball rolling. [/QUOTE]
