Ahhhh. That is much better.

Before my son was living back here in Las Vegas he was very lazy in many ways thanks to his mom. All he did was either play outside with his friends or be inside in his room playing with both his video games and his own personal computer. All of this was only allowed by his mother when he told her that he was done with his all of his homework, he was doing well in school and that his room was clean. Of course there was no way the kid could have possibly been lying to her. No need to actually check his homework, his grades or whether or not you could see the floor in his room. Right?

Wrong! What the hell was she thinking?!

The same thing has been happening for so long that it is all he has ever known. "How do I get away with it?" has been his only challenge for the past decade...Until now. I told him the day he got off the plane that his lazy days were over. He has been here for a month now. He has lost weight and his Ds and Fs are now straight As. It is funny how checking up on him everyday, A.K.A. parenting, actually works.  He said that he has never had all As before. I told him,"you're welcome".
