[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 681345, member: 19076"] Ultimately, Dad doesn't want to do it and makes excuses why he isn't capable of teaching his son. I have more patience with it, but I expect SS10 to do his work, and use his mind to work through the problems instead of hounding someone for the answers. Dad enables the behaviors and any work that would be turned in gets a low grade. I've tried this before. I wish I didn't have to be involved at all, but I think long term, if I want to see these kids get a good education and go on to college, I have to be. Does a big part of the problem lie with Dad, you betcha. Neither Mom or Dad did homework with their boys prior to her dying. It's not likely to happen very well if I don't stay involved. In fact, Dad interfered...again. I calmly told him that since he couldn't stop interfering, he was taking over and that I was going to my sewing room to work on a project. He followed me up to my room and said he didn't want to take over, and that he would leave us alone. I reassured him with a smile that I would be more than happy to let him handle the book report all on his own, and he said no thank you, and ran away. Mmphm! [/QUOTE]
