[QUOTE="Star*, post: 106077, member: 4964"] Hi, I think your son's homework is his responsibility. The consequences for him not going it 'could' affect your space if you choose to like he gets detention and you 'think' you 'have' to take him instead of telling him to get a ride. I think the biggest thing I was ever wrong at was wanting to beat myself up over things I had NO control over. If my son didn't do his homework - he got detention- if he got detention he figured this automatically meant time out of my life to take him home when done. Truth be told if I did it and yes, I did it - I didn't teach him a thing except that if he doesn't take responsibility for his actions then my life became a cluster. When I stopped taking responsibility for his actions - I felt freed in a way. And currently he's learning life the hard way. Let the regrets be theirs - instead of making them yours for the sake of believing like I did that it makes my life easier if I just....*fill in the blank* -It does make your life easier today - but not in all his tomorrows. Sometimes it just blows eggs to be a parent of a difficult child. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
