View Full Version : Thinking..... nance 11-24-2003, 01:47 PM of taking my son to Magic Mountain with me when I go with my girls on their band trip. Wanting to take and whether I should is tough.....his grades are sucky.....completely disregarded his chores this weekend and has had a sucky attitude. But If I gave him the goal of maybe going, would he straighten up? I have no clue at this point....I just wanna throttle him at times, because I want to take him places, I want to get to know my son on a fun level.......*sigh* handjobs4dollars 11-24-2003, 02:03 PM Hit him in the back of the head and tell him he should be on his knees thanking god he gets to have a mom like you.

He will begain to think that you should only act normal if he gets something in return. momita 11-24-2003, 04:09 PM was thinking the same thing........ reward for bad behavior? tuff one there, but mcm is the one whos gotta make the decision she can live with....... :) ruffneck119 11-24-2003, 04:14 PM He needs some kind of military discipline.

Yes, you guys are right. I thought the same thing after I posted. I just want to have some good times with my son again. I miss the nice kid he used to be.......but Hubby and I discussed it and I decided against unless it comes as a surprise and only after months of improved behavior......I think I'll have a long wait. :-( |
