[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 98771, member: 84"] Terry It is as if you're describing Travis' school days. Finally I got tired of the battles, and somehow it being my fault, and stepped out of the picture. School issues stayed with the school. I took care of family/home issues. If Travis didn't turn in assignments I let the teacher handle it. If he acted up in class, again up to teacher. ect. If he failed, he would fail. Honestly, I thought he would fail. But since nothing I was doing was helping I didn't think I had anything to lose anyway. And I was sick of the school/homework battles. Travis did fine. He didn't fail. The world didn't stop on it's axis. He didn't do any worse without my input than he had with it. This drove his teachers nuts as they seemed to assume it was my job to force him to complete his assignments on time. I just kept tossing the ball back into their court. School issue, dear. It was worth it. No more homework battles meant a MUCH more peaceful homelife, not just for me but for Travis too. And I also noticed alot of his acting out and irritability also went away. Hugs [/QUOTE]
