[quote=Anonymous]OP, if it's any consolation, your kids will appreciate you in a few years. My 19-year-old is already telling me voluntarily, out of nowhere and on multiple occasions, that he wishes he worked harder in high school. Before that, however, I went through years of hell being the "tough" parent who wanted DS to get his C's and D's up to B's (he did magnet middle school, he's definitely smart enough) while XDH was the "friend" who told DS "grades don't matter" and my insistence on B's was an "obsession". DS also volunteers that he doesn't respect XDH. Kids want *reasonable* structure and boundaries, even if they won't tell you at the time.[/quote]
