I miss those days. My daughters are all big and moved out. Back in the day, though, I used to take them to the construction sites. Every other year their mom took them to the hospital with her. It's a great idea.

bit...he's a lying piece of ...boy!! lied to the teacher, lied to me. I am gonna scare the sht out of him. Got to punish him somehow. Maybe I even send him to a drug test. then I am gonna cut him bald.

Gemini
I pulled ALL privileges, the x box, took the tv out of his room, took away the skateboard, said no tv even in the living room, basically took away his life. He can still come eat with us, but other than that, it's pretty much homework, chores and then extra homework.

The grades have improved.

yeah, I am gonna keep him very busy and I'll take ALL the previleges away from him. Of course I won't cut his head bald, but that's what would really teach him.

I am serious about the drug test. I am a really a little worried.

might a little rebel stop doing drugs if you test him or start doing drugs if you test him?

I get mixed feelings on the testing issue, not sure if it would matter from his perception, might just piss him off and prove you don't trust him, even if you don't right now it could backfire on you later.

gemini...
take him backpacking and make him carry the heavy stuff....:)

at 13, my son thought it so totally uncool to go ANYWHERE with his mother...it was like being punished....:) his 13th year was the hardest one for me...
hang in there girl!

om, that's too funny. I actually talked to him about that today. I said I'll visit him for lunch and act stupid every single time. Give him kisses and all that good stuff. Spit on my finger and rub the dirt of his face... stuff like that. :)

He actually thinks I am pretty cool (got to pad myself on the shoulder there for a sec) but he does not like to get kissed in front of everyone. (Of course)

Not sure if you where joking, but the backpacking idea is a good one. I may just do that if he gets in trouble again. NOt sure why I haven't thought of it.

take him out on one of your hikes. you know the nice and easy ones. like the one you took your neighbor on.
what was that?
oh yeah, a 10 mile 5000ft little walk.

okay, to get this straight!!! I didn't bust him because he was smoking pot!! That was just something that crossed my mind.

Thought only a fried brain would think he could get away with this.

I would really kill him then. It was "ONLY" missing work and him lying to me!!

Gem, likely one of his friends from school got away with doing the same thing using the same excuse, and he thought he'd try it out on you.

As a teacher I would like to see this Take-Your-Child-To-Work Day to summer. There are too many days off from school as it is and several kids use ths as an excuse to play hooky. IMO
