[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 42390"] Thanks. [img]:smile:[/img] It's nice to know I'm not alone. He's behind on his schoolwork (he attends school online). I've been on him all year about it, to no avail. Now he's stressing cause time is running out. I told him today that since he couldn't do the ONE thing (school) that is required of him there would be no permit. Driver's ed is required in Ohio in order for him to get his license. I haven't worked in 2 months and don't have the $300 it costs. He had the money (saved from birthday and Christmas), but decided to loan it to a friend who was saving for an X-Box. That was several months ago. This friend has a job. He hasn't bothered to pay easy child back a penny. I asked easy child about that today and he said he's not worried about it. So, if thinks he's going to be so free with his money and then expect me to come up with it, he's mistaken. I also told him that irregardless of all the above, with his present attitude I wasn't feeling motivated AT ALL to get his permit. I've talked to him until I'm blue in the face. He understands. He gets it. But everything "annoys" him (his word). I told him today that he was a big boy and he'd get over it. But he'll root himself in one spot and just go on and on and on, harping on me, criticizing. He finally said something (today)...I don't remember exactly...but it was some smart-mouth comment about me being ill...and I told him that he needed to shut his mouth and leave me alone. I was done. My mom gets the boundaries now. That's something I don't play either. But it was very hard to get here. I've had to cut off contact several times because she just kept crossing the line. For some reason, she never thought I was serious, I guess. She finally got that I meant business and backed off. [/QUOTE]
