[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 231138, member: 84"] Travis had the same issue. Honestly he did. He had major issues even getting homework that took me hours to make sure he did back to school. But I swear to you he did [B]not[/B] fail when I stepped completely out of the picture. The issues were still there. BUT the teachers and Travis had to work out solutions. I stayed out of it no matter how much they attempted to drag me back into it. And low and behold, even in our crappola sd they managed to come up with workable solutions. Travis actually improved about such issues out of need. Didn't go away, but it did get better. It was scary for me to drop the homework wars. I was certain both difficult children would fail. But they didn't, much to my amazement. Travis did no worse, and Nichole did much better. They were happier as they didn't have yet another person breathing down their necks over homework, and I was happier because the stress was off me and the responsibility was where it belonged. When my kids came home it was a more peaceful restful environment for them, heck for all of us. And I noticed that many other difficult child behaviors mellowed out as well with the removal of that huge stressor. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
