[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP said in a follow up that the kid DID know he would lose this trip. [/quote] Oh, I didn't see that. I actually still can't find it but if op gave the kid a clear ultimatum and he still didn't do the work, then I'm 100% behind the parents here.[/quote] She said he was told weekend plans would be affected and it sounds like there are many weekend plans.[/quote] So? OP's kid is aware the ski trip is a weekend plan. It doesn't have to be THAT specific, he's not stupid. I think taking it away is 100% justified and if she gives in now, it's going to send entirely the wrong message. That's a really bad idea and why there are so many bratty kids who think that if they just throw a fit they'll get to go on their trip. It apparently works on many of you! Don't be that parent, OP. It isn't fun sometimes, but you are doing the hard work to make him a responsible adult.[/quote]
