[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 537889, member: 14557"] I think I have an apology to make first thing in the morning. That is not that far away here, I'm way past my bedtime, luckily easy child has been in bed several hours already, he too has to be up right after six. easy child has lately been his self mostly, the most perfect child any parent could hope for. Even in work. husband talked with easy child's boss at Friday and asked how he had been doing. His first week in real work ever and all that. easy child's boss had nothing but praise for the kid. He has been smiley, brisk with his work and been even initiative that is quite a lot to ask from the kid his age in the first job. So no bad attitude at all, just being a good kid he is. We will not have time for the long chats before he has to head to work, but I will apologize for being too harsh with him and promise to think again about his grounding. I think I want to talk with him about how, to whom and where you can talk about your work especially in negative manner. To warn him about ever venting in social media and even thinking hard what to talk with people in general. These are things he probably don't really understand. Whining and venting about your work is not the same as doing so about school or something like that. It can really come and bite your butt. And that is something I think it would be advisable to discuss with him at. If his attitude is not horrendous, I think his grounding ends to that chat. And I have to remind him that it is not at all bad. He has three weeks work left and after that he still has six more weeks of his vacation left. And best beach weather here is always in July anyway. I think that chat about him and difficult child and how difficult child and his reputation affects easy child is something I have better take a rain check on. But we will need to go back to that later. Just now I'm not sure if I'm up to it though. [/QUOTE]
