I have done a decent job raising my children. I don't expect them to be perfect or angels ... I don't expect them to walk on water. But I do expect respect & the ability to listen.
We have hit the point where my oldest "thinks" she knows it all. Yep that is typical of everything but this matter it's getting well beyond belief. Skipping school, a party that had alcohol, the pissy little attitude that is not acceptable ... I can really go on but after that, must I?

I gave my oldest a choice. Either YOU make the DECISION to get yourself straigth & do it fast or I send you to BOOT CAMP. The only problem is, I am not joking. I will not stress over "is this or that going on" or "is will this or that be happening." Nope, I am sorry but this will not occur any more.
We have had the talks. The restristions have occured, the privileges have been removed ... basically, I have pretty much done everything LEGAL with sadly little or next to no results.

I think boot camp would be an amazing thing for this child. Teaching them the durablity, respect, responsibly & true meaning of home. It is truely a concept that they will either learn something from or fail.
