My son who is 15 he plays in school & gets bad grades hes failing &lies with 2yrs left in my house i wana help

Question

im like a relaxed parent i just want to help him before it too late i even offered to buy him a quad and a plasma still nothing

Answer 1

BOOT CAMP!!! You're the PARENT not his friend. If you wanted to be his friend you should have let someone else raise him. No offence but children need boundries. Stop being a relaxed parent and be a PARENT. I wish you the best of luck but I doubt you will be able to change his behavior now. Like letting a dog p**p on the floor. You cant let him do it for 15 years then decide one day he's not allowed to do it anymore. Should have started from day one hun.

Answer 2

Shame on you.  It's a little too late now.  Send him away to Military School.  He could of used some spankings about 5 years ago.  It's too late now.

Answer 3

Oh dear.... Please send your son to a private school. They have much better resources and maybe he will make some connections that will help him be successful in life. Please don't bribe your son with material things. Get him an education so he can function in society.

Answer 4

Sorry, but he should have had discipline like 14 years ago and maybe it wouldn't have gotten this far.  Do you buy him something for being bad all the time?  No wonder he is doing what he is doing.  If he's gonna get stuff, then why not?  Be the parent, not the friend.  But, in my opinion, you are too late.

Answer 5

LoL...

"offer to buy him a quad and plasma" and nothing?

If you are 'counting down the years or days' until he 'leaves' then you will NEVER EVER get it or be a parent.

You are attempting to 'buy' him off and he sees that. Try NOT being a 'relaxed' parent and be an INVOLVED PARENT! Argggghhhhh!

You may find that your TIME, CONCERN, INVOLVEMENT, COMMUNICATION, and LOVE is MORE of an incentive to him that you buying him off. Are you that BLIND???

He needs a parent, not a friend. He needs a parent not a big brother or sister. He needs a PARENT, not a 'supplier' of toys. HE NEEDS A PARENT.

Hey, YOU asked.

Answer 6

being a parent is not a relaxed job. Its a 24/7/365 times 18+ years. You should have helped your child become more independent, and respectful to others. Buying him gifts to do what he is supposed to do is not the answer either. You have to show him that you are in charge, and that he needs to respect what you are saying, and telling him to do. Being that he is 15 years old, it might be kinda late. try sending hime into the military.
