Alb my son used to call me and tell me all about how he was going to beat the system.  One time he said he was going to pay an accountant to do his accounting homework for him and he was looking on Craigslist for one, to whom he was going to pay $20.


All I could feel was physically ill.


And back then alb I would spent countless energy sitting him down explaining why this was wrong.  Like we hadn't taught him those values already his whole entire life. 


Lol at me. 


I am so proud of you for being able to set and hold that boundary as he was saying this thing that I am sure must have really hurt you to hear.  I remember feeling so dismayed and sick that if he actually thought that, wow, what a long long road he has ahead of him.


Alb your son knows already that this is not the way to go.  Maybe he is getting sick and tired and that comment is a desperate idea he was trying on for size.


That is not a bad thing at all alb and the fact that you had a mild response to him gave him space alb. 


Space to really let it go as what his response really could be.  You did good alb and I am wishing good things for you and him both today.
