He is off for a three day weekend and will try to avoid doing homework until the last minute if allowed. My wife tried to get him to do some while I was out but she is feeling very frustrated today with him.
She has gone out rather that rip his head off, something she really doesn't want to do but she just wishes he would do it already.
So I've had lunch (salad and a rice burger) and he has eaten frozen fruit and 2 bites of an apple he used to procrastinate with. We do this dance with our son all the time.
Punishing does not work; he hunkers down and tortures us on different ways when we take away his favorite things. I feel my frustration growing and chose to eat the remaining $2 organic apple that would have been thrown out.
He just walked out to see what I was doing rather than do his work. I am here waiting him out. All the while my temper is rising and my afternoon is getting lost.
As much as people adore him at taekwondo, he rarely does his work without it taking long periods of time and lots of annoying behavior.
