The failing grades are because he neither does nor turns in homework.

So what are you grounded from for not making sure the homework was at least done?

Oh! I know! No more pool presidency for you young dwarf! Now get to your cave!

Go ahead, pour salt in the wound.

Truth is, that up until Luke came along Mrs. did all the keepin' up with the homework. And school work got done and in on time. 'Course that was 5th grade. With Luke being so high maintenance I took over the supervision of the schoolwork.

He highly resented me having anything to do with it. And it caused behavior problems, so I backed off with the (what I thought anyway) understanding that the wife would step back in.

We went from Luke to her starting a new job to her dad getting sick to Nana moving in...wife was distracted and, quite frankly, did not follow through. It is difficult to discuss it with her in such specific terms because she feels guilty about it.

During that time was when the doctor kept wanting to try "new" medications. That's when I put my foot down.

Wife has made the promise to stay on top of things this year. If not, she don't get to play football either...
