Oh Corin... I am lucky sometimes to not have a kid yet that will become a teenager. But having been where this kid is too, in addition to the punishment phase, try to somehow get him to see reward or fun in doing the homework needed too... and that is hard. See if there is any fun or pride to be found in getting the work done and getting good grades on it. Rave about whatever he can demonstrate, including just raving about the finished homework, or a treat in the middle of what looks like a good study session.

We do that Hair. Probably too much.

But right now he needs a good kick in the butt and a good hard cold taste of reality.

Life sucks sometimes and we all have to do things we don't want to do. It's time he started learning that lesson.

He's probably lucky that I didn't get the call at home while he was there. I'd end up on the Springer show with Miz Toogood.
