Need some advice on disciplining a 13 yo

[inline 6]

Just tell him that you are going to do his mom in the ass for every bad grade that he gets.

"You're just like every other asshole that's come through here!"

[War Machine]

If that's the case then momma is gonna make sure he fails!

She would just laugh about it, and tell him he deserves it.

I watched my brother and a good friend struggle with this very same scenario. There is no one answer, but from observation of both situations, you are fucked if you do and fucked if you don't.

In both situations, the mom eventually defended her kid from the step-father. At first the mothers were all for the step-dad dolling out punishment. After time it became a bone of contention. Either way you come out looking bad.

sitting down and talking to him/treating him like an adult may help(may already be doing this), get involved and see whats going on at school maybe the problem is on that end. 13 is a rough age for the kid and parent both, good luck

^^ I agree. My dad only ever whooped my ass twice - once when I was like 4 for hitting my mom in retribution for spanking me(LOL!) and again when I was ~16 and thought I could take him. I don't remember the first one, but won't ever forget the second.

I did have to cut down a large tree with a dull Axe once for getting suspended. That sucked.

In all seriousness, have you had him tested for learning disabilities?

Take him to walmart so he can get acquainted with his future career.

He does just fine studying. He is just very lazy about doing his homework and turning it in.

Already did that at McDonald's. I'll put wally world on the list.

I kept losing things out of my room until I brought my grades up. It got down to a dresser and a bed eventually.

Put that kid on a schedule! If it takes you and his mom sitting with him at a table every night with him to work on his studies. Then do it. He will hate it more than you at first but he will figure out that, "if I am going to have to sit here I might as well make use of the time". After a few weeks of that and he sees his grades improve and the better grades are getting easier to come by. He will settle into the routine without someone sitting with him.

Even if there is not home work. There are things he can review and improve on that they are currently studying. It is all about routine.

Don't let him study in his room or in front of the TV. Pick a place where he can focus only on the work to be done!
