[quote=Anonymous]1) I’m so naive! How can you lie? Don’t you need dates, duties, Coach or sponsor name?

2) I am not Pollyanna but I have always told my dc that at the end of the day all you have is your name/honor. I’m 50 so Maybe this is old - fashioned but it was how I was raised. My father  was such a man of his word and that always stayed with me. I could never sanction lying. Work as hard or as little as you want and yield the consequence.

Ps. Even when people stretch the truth for these things I cringe.

3) Only gaming. I have on dc who played way to much. We had all sorts of rules, limits, etc. but there is a lot of “ mission creep” and when you have a life and other dc it gets hard to patrol. SO, a job or activity is a must!! Ours actually liked scouts so that was huge but we then send go learn guitar so that took time. After junior year we said either a club, sport, or a job. Then it was on gaming on fri- sun. Yes it’s a battle and not fun but you must demand something from him.

4) who cares if it is “ French fry flipping.” You seemed disparing but it’s not the output it’s the inout. They see he had a responsibility and met it.

5) ECs May not matter but as a means to an end but hopefully they matter as he is engaged in the world and being exposed to ideas, fun, personalities, commitment, determination, succeeds, failure, etc.

Good luck. This is hard for all of us.[/quote]
