It's pure torture!

My 17yo is whining. This is nothing new. He's a pain to deal with on a daily basis, and am having him read the book "The Shack" ... much to his dismay the book is dry in the beginning that much I will say. We took his phone away. Why? Because we told him to read the book, and he's deliberately avoiding it because, "IT'S BORING!" .... waaaaaa! Next step in the parade will likely be a trip to the back yard with a deck of cards. heh. I will keep you posted as time goes by. (I do work tonite and him and my husband will be gone in the morning when I get home.)
