[QUOTE="Jeppy, post: 330272, member: 7564"] We have discussed this - it is one of his favorite topics of conversation as he thinks he can wear me down. And it's always that he will future tense change and do to get, but there is no past indication of that. In December there was a whole week when he wouldn't go to school because he didn't like his haircut, even though at that point I was driving him. He's failing all his classes, getting detentions, and he thinks because he's not getting suspensions that he's making progress and therefore I should transport him. I just don't see it that way. He's 16 and by law I'm not obliged to see that he gets to school anymore and I've had enough. Yesterday he spent five minutes max cleaning trash (all his except for small amount in the trash receptacle) out of the car and he said, "See? I'm being good." Yet when I asked him to shovel he wouldn't. It's like he's always trying to figure out what is the minimum he can do to make it look like he's putting forth an effort rather than really trying to change. [/QUOTE]
