This your first marriage?

Do you have any other children?

First marriage, and no children on my end.

you must use the quick release pullout technique.

When I was in high school, I slacked off on my studies and homework... The grades suffered. Mom punished me every which way she could and, as irritating as it was, it didn't affect me. What finally did was failing my first semester of AP Chem 1 and my counselor asking WTF I suddenly had a 2.62 GPA with only 5 semesters left before graduation. I wanted to go to UT for college and top 10% of the class was instant acceptance at the time. A light bulb went off in my head, I graduated with a 3.64 GPA and was in the top 8% of my class.

Point being, if he has a good head on his shoulders there's a great chance he will need his own catalyst and no amount of disciplinary action is going to have an effect on his desire. Good grades to avoid punishment is one thing, and he may resent the fuck out of you and good grades. It's a double edged sword and in the end you might just have to fall on it.

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

HaHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think the first thing you have to do is sit down and make sure the kid understands the material and is just lazy. If he can't tackle the work then you can beat him senseless and it won't do any good. If you really want to be his dad then you might also need to be his tutor. I sure as hell wouldn't let one of my kids fail.

In that case, I will need some clarification on LincolnBoy.

Why isn't the mom handling HER children? You need to be the part of the dynamic but you have to realize you aren't the parent. You and your spouse should agree on the rules of the house and it's her responsibility to enforce them.

shit! yo momma make cum bubbles with her butthole.

Your parents are a clear example that they weren't worried about your school grades.

In that event...and I'm sure you've heard this a lot...don't put yourself through this.

Unless she's rich, a 10/10, and amazingly dedicated to pleasing you...and you're a poor 2/10 alcoholic asshole.

guess you wont know what my GPA was in h.s.

She's been dead for 4 years.

The correct way to write that is "Your mother MADE cum bubbles with her butt hole."

Past-tense.

I tell my son that you either have to be smart or strong to make in life as a man. Give him homework and grade it. And if that doesn't work make him work. My son has moved pallets of bricks, ran laps at the school track, chopped wood, picked weeds, driven a box of deck screws into wood by hand. Get creative!

I used to date this broad who had a little boy. He was a brat, so when he was bad we would go "wrestle" in his room. I'd fuck that kid up. I used to power bomb his little ass on the hardwood floors.

He started calling me daddy, which made things weird, and want to kick his ass more
