[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 333152, member: 53"] My suggestion would be to cut out the step of asking if a task has been done.......never give kids a chance to lie to your face....... just go find out if the task is done or give warning such as I will be checking the cage in fifteen minutes to see if you have done a good job........ or with easy child I will be calling your teacher to see if she has your assignment graded....... but I do agree it's time for you to let easy child sink or swim....... I think you have said your piece about easy child, just step out and try not to get involved (that part will kill you, cause you know husband may not step up, but he never will if you are doing it, he will figure he doesn't have to.....) Hope that after a few bad grades or failure of a class, something will sink in to either of them...... It's difficult to watch when you know you could help, but sometimes they need to feel the consequences........ Don't let it drive you crazy....... [/QUOTE]
