[quote=Anonymous]Natural consequences for both of them? That means son fails and maybe blames mom?

Natural consequences for you?  Your son fails because you have turned over all control to your wife.  TBH, you are prioritizing job over kid, like most men do, and sometimes there is a consequence for the kids.  Most of the time the wife picks up the working man's slack, but not always.  A responsible adult (man or woman) would be looking to see how he could change job hours to meet family responsiblities.  Many women use FMLA to do this (if using to care for ill family member - depression, anxiety, etc. in loved one may qualify), or they use leave time.

I don't know what is going on with your wife, but your son is old enough to get himself up and to school on time.  If he can't then there is a problem that means that he needs an assessment -- does he have school refusal? ADHD? some social anxiety?  bad grades and so doesn't want to go?  These are just "personal issues," they're usually a sign that a kid might have a diagnosable disorder and qualify for some kind of help at school - IEP or 504 plan.
