[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expectations of doing their best. Expecting them to finish what they start. School is their job, not screens.  Their father and I were always a united front. Love them for who they are and don’t compare kids.[/quote]
Nah. That's just you thinking you did something and patting yourself on the back. How old are your kids? If younger, you have no idea. Plus you are talking about school, life is different. You can expect all you want, and the kid won't give a crap. It is interesting how some parents just can't accept that most of it is just who the kid is. I told my overachiever dd not to drink, I expect her not to drink, yet, she drinks and does stupid crap! And she is also motivated about school. Spent Friday and Saturday night studying. Next week I might get called by the police, since she might try to get a cow drunk in someone's field in north MD. Or decide to plow some field with her car! And we live far from fields!
See, being motivated and doing dumb sh*t are not exclusive of each other![/quote]
