[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 107071, member: 3626"] Sounds like he needs to be part of a crew that doesn't involve his dad. I do like the idea of just sending him home when he starts acting up -- don't do the job, don't get the pay. Your son needs to step up. Your husband needs to back down as dad and be the boss on the job. I doubt he would get into fighting/arguing matches with another apprentice, so why let his son get away with it? I love the hmmms and really's. They are so non-committal and save so many arguments. Well, in most homes, anyway. (Here, they just become you're not listening to me arguments -- anything to engage.) I hope your son gets it before real life bites him in the rear and he loses a job that could truly become a good future. [/QUOTE]
