[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 601974"] You know Suz- regardless of difficult child's beliefs - there comes a time when a rebellious kid learns (or doesn't learn) the golden rule - he who has the gold makes the rules. Presumably, he wants this position w the team? You said it's a great fit & a fresh start otherwise. Seems like the GA requirement is the only thorn. I realize we have different cultures & religious beliefs. So I do not mean to be glib and I apologize if I come off that way. How is difficult child's current approach worked for him? I realize there are bigger things at play, but it doesn't seem as though "doing it his way" Is working well for him in the long run.how many more great opportunities are out there after this one? I think if he were my kid, I'd tell him that if he wants this opportunity, he needs to agree to GA both in spirit & action. A deal's a deal. Faking it won't work. And if he can't stomach it, then this opportunity is not for him. If he wants change, he has to seek change & can't put his own conditions on a wonderful opportunity. I imagine the mgmt is taking a chance & wants to help difficult child succeed. He should try it their way. What does he have to lose? [/QUOTE]
