[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth? Yeah he will do better if you micromanage but if you don help him learn the skills over the next four years to manage his own work and activities then he will eventually go to college and it will fall apart then. [/quote] +1. This happened to my stepson after my DH micromanaged him in high school. Went to college and without Dad to keep on top of him, he did floundered. OP, it's hard, but you could start by stepping away from all the but the bigger/more important things. Maybe something like asking, "hey do you have homework?" or "have you finished your homework?" and leave it at that. Don't check grades online daily. Give it some time and see how he does to start. You may be pleasantly surprised! And if you need to step back in, you can. [/quote]
