[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess my 9 1/2 year-old is in the minority here but he never comes home late.  He has a watch and uses it.  i would be more than pissed at him if he were late like your son.[/quote]

Your son is not that exceptional.  The difference is that you found a system that works for your son and OP hasn't.  The watch doesn't work for my son, but we have a system that does and he's never been late either.  The point is that we have to teach our kids before we can just expect them to be successful.

I think OP needs to talk with her son and figure out what's going on for him that he loses track of time.  Some people are more time-conscious than others.  It's like any skill/talent.  I can tell what time it is without a clock fairly accurately.  DH is like OP's son.  Can't really tell the difference between 30 minutes and an hour.  When he gets lost in something, he truly gets lost.  As his best man said at our wedding, "X (DH) never made it anywhere on time before Y (me)."   [/quote]
