[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wtf.  Take away all privileges and stop doing things for him.  If he's so smart, tell him to figure out a way to start making money now.  Some very smart, enterprising 14 yr olds are able to do this.

If he is so smart, why does  he get such mediocre grades?  And why do you continue to pay for his private school?  Don't pay for his college. Let him figure it out, if he's so smart.

I'm gonna be tough on you here -- you are a wimp, and enabling him.

And where is the father in all of this?  He needs to set his son straight.  [/quote]

I appreciate your advice.
DH is setting him straight, that part is covered.
This is his first year of private school. I am reconsidering next year TBH. Debating pulling him out.
How am I enabling him?

Not PP but my sister and BIL struggled with somewhat similar behavior from my nephew when he was in an expensive private school when they lived overseas.  He got into a very Keeping up with the Joneses mindset and everything was about money and prestige because he was around kids with tons of money and prestige.  Obviously not every private school is like that and not every kid will react like that but it can be difficult for some kids to navigate.  [/quote]
