Patty ~

Do our boys know each other? For a minute I thought that you had gotten in my head and were describing my son! He'll swear up and down that he has no homework until I log onto Powerschool and tell him otherwise.

I posted on here awhile back how concerned I was with my son's lack of drive, organizational skills and motivation and how concerned I was about his future. One of the best replies I got was to remember that he will learn far more from his own failures than from the successes that were orchestrated by me.

I also think it's a guy thing. I'm told that teenage boys do a lot of growing emotionally in the later part of their teenage years. And I noticed that you said that your husband isn't to worried either, maybe he was the same way as a kid?

Good luck Patty!
