[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and I thank you all for calming me down.

I can't imagine that we really would have done this - I was just frustrated today after a long week.

Here's the thing: None of these DC kids - mine, yours and everyone else's - has any idea how good they have it, on so many levels. We are talking about going to a World Series baseball game, your hometown team that you've been a fan of your whole life, where they might win it all. Most baseball fans wait their whole life for that and never see it. And we're talking about a 16 year old, whose only job/ responsibility in life is to go to school, do some things around the house, and basically grow into a good son, brother and friend. Is that asking so much?

I just get tired of entitled attitudes, even if it doesn't rise to serious behavior problems. DH and I have worked very hard to get to where we are to be able to provide things like this.[/quote]

Yes it’s too much to ask a 16-year-old to be perfect.

You need a little more self reflection because there’s no way everything you have you work for. Stop putting yourself on the back and pretending like you’re a self-made person you’re not.[/quote]

+1, he behaves the way he does because of your attitude, beliefs and lifestyle.  Most kids in this area are not going to this game.  If you child is entitled look at your choices.  Also, at 16 he should have a job or internship or something over the summer.[/quote]
