Wow, does this sound familiar. Does your son have ADD? My daughter does and we go through scenes very similar to this all the time.

Your guy reminds me of my bro. He’d always figure out the minimum amount of work he’d need to do to get by in a class . . . the rest was ignored. Not a bad strategy: it left him with a lot more time to party!

I don’t know why these kids assume they can pull a fast one. Goes back to the ol’ viewing mom as chopped liver syndrome. You handled it quite well!

I feel your pain. Once my daughter learned to forge my signature, I would find out months later that she had dropped a class or failed a test (and signed the required parent form) or attended a Saturday school, unbeknownst to me. One good thing about college is that the college only communicates with the student so I can pretend she is doing great all the way until she shows me the grades. Someday I hope she will figure out it is about her learning something, not keeping bad news from me!

oh, I am not looking forward to that stage at all.. I was a terror so I can’t imagine my offspring will be any different.

Way to lay down the law!
