My just turned 16yr old son is giving me much cause for concern, he is half way through his exams, he has been released from 2 already due to lack of interest and non attendence to them and yet he continues to stuggle getting to school for the 3 1/2 days he still has to attend.
We have spoken about his future on many occassions and he assures me he wants to achieve something from his GCSE's rather than nothing, but his actions speak louder than his words when week after week he just about manages 2 days attendence.
my son wants for nothing,( basic needs not comercial gimmicks) I provide a comfortable clean home that he spends more time in than me as I work full time + extra just to survive this economy and mortgage rates.
I'm advised not continue to nag and rant at him about his selfish lazy ways and what his future will hold other wise but it just falls on deaf ears ans its just causing me heartache and turmoil and not doing any better for him.
I have removed his computer, stopped buying treats to eats, Have given him independant chores like own ironing and bedding changing not drastic I know but a push in the right direction i feel. He does not drink, smoke or do drugs in fact leaving the house is a rareaty.
I do feel I dislike him very much and cant tollerate any more of his selfishness and if he told me he was leaving home tomorrow I would shead a tear but want to throw a party.!!
