things have gone from bad to worse with our 14 yr old son who is a HS freshman. At the beginning of football season we agreed to sign the consent form if he agreed to get passing grades and at least maintain a C average .
As per his usual MO, football comes 1st. His coaches have been little help. Had him playing Freshman, JV and even some Varsity games. They never checked his grades and when I brought up with them he IS failing I was informed that they do not check grades until end of 1st qtr. Football is OVER by then.
We have lost all control over this 6 ft, 150 lbs of pure muscle kid. He skirts all rules, by passes punishments and makes us miserable when we attempt to discipline him. Turn off phone and he just does not come home. find evidence of pot use, suspect he may be smoking more then that.
After threatening him with throwing his butt out of the house he laughs at us knowing under today legal system we cannot do it.
If this were the turn of the century I would surely have him shanghighed into the service.
called the local PD last nite to inform them he did not come home and we do not know where he IS.
