[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP it is a hard situation because you want your DS to get to go to the game but it never should have been a option, regardless of how the game turned out. Both your kids had school the next day and one had a test. If there were only two tickets, Dad should have brought a friend and not taken either kid. Then both kids could gripe together and you could simply focus on getting a good sleep before school being important. [/b]

That said, taking away the game because your son had not prepared well is a hard thing for him to swallow. Of course he is going to be upset and a bit rebellious. I would sit down and discuss the situation with him. Give him a one time mulligan for not coming home when you told him too but explain that he is getting the break because you understand how disappointed he was to miss a big game. Talk about how to handle that type of disappointment better next time.

The test prep, or lack there of, is a different problem. It sounds like he needs some help learning how to study effectively. You can get tutors that will help with class work and with teaching a child how to prepare to study effectively. [/quote]
