Zane and his son

[Queenie]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of just not turning in assignments so that my dad would have to lay down the law. How do you just not do the work? Zane flies off the handle a bit too much in some of his stories but I'm totally with him on this one. First your kid doesn't do the work then he makes a deal with you and breaks it with a week? I don't want to parent other peoples' kids but I'm all for Zane bringing down the hammer. I'd be frustrated as hell in his position.

:clap: This is what i'm talking about. He broke the deal in less than a week! I don't care if the book he forgot was something as easy to find as a dictionary. The point was Jim was told to bring all of his books home. Period. Pretty easy if you ask me. I know from experience that this breaking point that Zane had didn't come from the absence of one, two or even three assignments not being turned in. It's from continued laziness on the part of the child. If we, as parents, don't step and bring down that hammer, who is going to? It is our responsibility as parents to do this.
