There is soooo many kids that are willing that need alittle break that I guess I wouldn't waste my time... I wouldn't totally abandon him, but I wouldn't go outta my way... Rules are rules and it's either black or white in our world, no gray.... And you have to make an effort for success it just don't land in your lap... We are really tough on our kids... Now that is totally free advice so take it for what it's worth...
