[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 469916, member: 3493"] insane - He wouldn't want a donation in his name but a little monetary gift might be appreciated. He is really not into money - he made $1200 this summer as a camp counselor and still has about all of it and he doesn't ask me for very much. I realized that he was a little embarrassed because the girl he likes didn't get an award and she is very smart and takes all AP's for the most part. And another kvell - difficult child recommended this same girl to tutor my youngest son in foreign language. She called last night to arrange and told me she didn't want to charge us because "difficult child is my friend and I don't want to take advantage!" First, this is the first time I ever heard a girl refer to difficult child as "my friend" and second, she sounded so sweet I can't believe my son is friends with such a lovely young lady. I arranged a price of $15/hr with her (going rate for HS seniors is $20) but told difficult child that H will not have change when he pays her as I intend to give her the full 20. anyway, we are back to the real world. difficult child is not doing math HW and failed the first test and the make-up because he refused to allow the teacher to tutor him. It's AP math so it's an elective he doesn't need to graduate so he can keep it. But still... [/QUOTE]
