[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry PP but I think you are the &hit stirrer here.  I think OP is a normal parent trying to figure out how to cope with her surly teen.  
Just move on unless you dont want to give advice. [/quote]

She didn't actually ask for advice - she asked someone to tell her the kid wouldn't be a lazy husband.  She alleges to have a kid who gets As and Bs in honors and AP classes, plays 3 sports at apparently a competitive enough level to potentially be recruited, plays some kind of instrument and likes to read in his free time.  It is not apparent what the power struggles are about but it sounds like she needs to just back off and leave the kid alone.  What exactly is she expecting him to do if she takes away sports practices, instruments and books.  Seems to me those are things she should be wanting the kid to do.  So is she not letting him do preseason for whatever fall sport he plays?  To me that seems like just asking for him to be hanging around the house with too much free time on his hands this fall.  If it were me I'd be getting the kid involved in lots of activities.[/quote]
