Would you ARGUE with your mother when she told you that regardless of the 20 hour threshold, you would be engaged in some kind of activity during spring break because no way, no how, notgonnahappen, and again, no way would you be lounging around for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week with no supervision while your parents are at work.
Hmmmm, I didn't think so.
Would said arguments include a rather loud, vehement "FUCK NO! I'm DONE at 20 hours! That's what the school SAID!" when your mother calmly and rationally explained that your options included:
a. going to work with mom
b. going to work with dad
or
c. helping out with other teens during the YMCA Splash Week
Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Did I mention that said volunteering would be from 8:45 to 11:30 AM Monday to Thursday? Not exactly torture or slave labor.

THat would be grounds for some serious, hard core Amish lock-down at this place.

ReplyDeleteIs there anything that really motivates him? Think about what would truly hurt and start there. I was a wild child and my parents put me in my place by threatening all sorts of things (I'd have to move out, no college education, etc.)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what else I can do/take away...I've already taken away computer, ipod, cell phone, his boom box, hanging with friends, DH took the door off his room (:-X)....
