ORIGINAL: YourhandMyAss No offense, since I don't know anything about bratty kids, but why can't you ship him off dad alive or no dad alive? What would dad being alive have to do with it? quote:
ORIGINAL: hejira92 Honestly, if his father were alive, I'd ship him off. He needs to learn some reality of life. If Dad is not alive, then there is no dad to send him to. I 'd love to ship him off to Military School. He'd like it, too, as a matter of fact. But do you realize those things cost upwards of $20,000 a year??!?!?! I may just ship him off to my brother in Israel. Let him live the restrictive life of an Orthodox Jew for a few weeks/months and see if he doesn't wake up to how priviledged he is here. Actually, I'm looking into Outward Bound- type programs for the summer. I have heard of the programs, seems pretty interesting, could well help, sometimes they do need a strong reality check. When the same son I mentioned early got in his "trouble" and wasnt doing what the judge said, The judge said you want motivation, I will give you motivation and sent him off to "Boot Camp" for teens that needed a clue x 4. 90 days of training, displine and nothing less that stellar conduct, he came out buffed up and ready to tackle te world. Unfortunately it wasnt long lived and he slip back into the down side of his bi-polar.The judge knew he wasnt bad kid tho, while he was set for 2 yearof probation, he didnt seem to be able to keep up with his community service, fees and restitution. The judge did allow him to extend it although it took him twice as long. Did mom ever pay a penny, oh hell no. His offence wasnt anything major, but none the less he got caught. Had he actually finished high school (quit at the end of 11th grade besause he was bored,,,very high IQ and not got into trouble, the armed services would have loved to have him at a premium price even. Thats one things he does regret. He would have done great things I would like to think. But that way before all this Iraq stuff and their standards were alot higher even for the Army. I so hate that every day he struggles and get angry at himself and was turning to drink to make up for it. Now he is paying that price, but on the good side they put him in a mandatory mental health program so he is meds required which is helpin. I love my boy, but the things he has done makes me want to throttle him, but I also know somethings he couldnt help. He does live with my mom to help provide for her when he can, so at least I know he is in most excellant hands. I will never give up on him being very successful someday, using his high intelliegnce and finding himself productive and well. Never stop trying honie and always remind him that you love him regardless even if your decisions are not what he wants
