Hello All
thank you for your emails and posts and support and prayers....
I got word that my son is ok... it seems he thinks chores are too hard
and he needed a break from home.. (he needs his ass tanned)...his
friends were calling me all day yesterday after my sister posted a group
forum on myspace .... most of his friends have told him to come home...
he said he would when he was ready...
so.... my question is... should i just when he comes
home?
let me tell you.. this parenting thing is something else!

IM GLAD HIS OK!!!!SEND HIM TO BOOT CAMP

Hey girl really glad to hear that you have gotton word he is
okay.

Humm now when he gets home, well that is a differnt story. Have had my
share of problems with my son. And well I did learn ya go off on them at
times and it makes things worse. Wish I had the right answer for you.
But hey the Boot Camp thing they have for troubled teens is not a bad
ideal. Hear it works wonders.

But all in all just glad to hear you know he is okay.

Good luck girl and your right being a parent is not an easy road and
even harder when your going at it alone.

thank you....
thank you...
thank you...

GreenEyedHippieChick,

I'm very happy to hear that your son is doing well.

You asked what you should do when he gets home, but it's what you do
BEFORE he gets home that is important. You need to think through how
you and him have interacted and decide if you have been fair and
consistant or not. If you feel that you haven't been fair and
consistant with him, then you need to apologize and make ammends,
because it's the right thing to do. If you feel that you are fair and
consistant, then read him the riot act and take away some/all of his
privileges and give him more chores as punishment. Regardless of your
behavior, his actions were wrong, but remember he is just a kid and kids
(especially boys) do really dumb things. Just my opinion.

God bless.

Glad to hear he's ok...DANG kids...They forget that parents worry sooooo
much and that disappearing for us is a parents worse nightmare!!!!!

thanks spider... the what should i do is a rethorical question.. I know
what i will do... and i am a fair and just parent.. the decision my son
made was a dumb one indeed.. and he knows it and he knows what his
consequences will be.. the only thing is im not the only one he must
answer to and he know that too. so his slow decision to make it home
only prolongs the inevitible (sp)

just know all will be ok

Whew! Glad he is ok

When he comes home...give him a really big hug, and keep on hugging him.
Tell him how much you missed him and how scared you were. How much you
love him. Then let him know you guys need to sit down and discuss what
is fair between the two of you, as far as what each has a responsibility
to do around the house. Bring paper and pencil to the discussion and
write down what each has to do in order to make the home run smoothy.
Each of you write down your responsibilities and check off what is
absolutely needed and then what can be done less. Come to an agreement
about what is fair and ask him to keep to his end of the deal. Then ask
him to always come and talk to you when he feels things are getting bad.
Then let him know the next time he pulls this crap...you will call in
the authorities. Too many kids end up dead.

GEHC, I am so glad to read he is ok!!!!!!

Sit him down and talk to him seiously eye to eye. Get into his head. Ask
him what truly is bothering him and maybe you can resolve some issues.
He apparently has more going on than meets the eye. The chores is just
an excuse.
