My son Brad, will be 15 years old tomorrow, and Im at my wits end as to what to do with him....His grades are at an all time low, and he has been told to go to tutoring after school until 5:30. Well, he has blown this off, and shows no interest in school work, or making better grades...He came in yesterday at 4:00, and left until like 7:30, no idea where he went. I had been sick at work all day, and was sleeping at the time, so when he came in, Kimmy showed me his grades, and told me that he had been lying about going to tutoring. Off came the belt, and I commenced to whipping him pretty hard for lying. He showed no tears, just defiance, and bowed up on me. Then it got ugly, I told him to "come on", you wanna fight, we'll fight...he just kept saying "get off of me". I never hit him, but held him really tight to show him who was in charge. It was an ugly evening. My Dad used to bring the blood to my a$$, and I feared for my life when he whipped me, but Brad seems to show no fear...Everything has been taken away from him, cellphone, skateboard, free time, but he shows nothing but defiance...I continued yelling at him, telling him as long as he lives in my house, Im in charge, and he WILL comply. I start attending tutoring classes with him Thursday afternoon (his birthday)...any ideas????
