Easier to flunk than have to live up to expectations of what to do next. I know, twisted logic, but logic nonetheless. Seen that one.

Good for him and you. I have a 13 year old daughter who is now wanting to live with her dad she doesn't like me getting on to her when I think she is doing something she shouldn't be doing. She don't like me now. Me and her dad handle things differant. Maybe 1 day we can see eye to eye and we all get there in 1 piece. Just pray for us mothers with teens we could use all the help we can get. Cindy

Shygal, today you are my angel. I bawled through your post, really I did. I have a very difficult child and some days are extremely difficult. We have 4 and I know parenting is hard.. but he has been a severe challenge since birth and there's no real reason why. Your thread was encouraging to me.
