Ok, some people 'may' have got wrong end of stick. Not an uncommon thing on here. Lol. My DS hasn't got piercings or funny coloured hair.

When I say my dad is going to get him labouring, I meant working in his garden( all 4 acres) and yes it is only £2.50/hr, but he gets to live there in his own room, 3 enormous meals a day from my mum, plus my dad's homemade cider(blehhhh). Best of all, it's in the middle od nowhere, no Internet, friends or xbox. It's like Boot camp, but he's getting paid.

I would never raise a hand to him. He's too blooming big for a start;)

But I have reconsidered, he did manage to get there 2 mornings on the trot for 5.45 am. He's just too dozy to realise he needed to make sure he wrote the right times down in the first place. I think the swearing resulted in too little sleep and the realisation that he had blown it. Maybe I just need to be a little more 'helicopter' next time and make sure I know the right details until he's matured a bit.

Sorry I think I read Juno's posts as being from you RE the hair.

I don't blame you for not hitting him, how can he be expected to behave like an adult if you don't treat him like one?

It takes time for them to get into the swing of the real world. I'm sure he'll get there because you are supportive and have a good work ethic. It's the ones with parents that leave them on their backsides that will still be unemployed this time next year.

A child brought up on an Xbox is already beyond hope in many areas where social skills, fitness and so forth are concerned. There is lazy and then there is video game addict lazy.

Not at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with video gaming as long as sense is used into how often and how long it's played.

My son has perfect social skills, is very fit from all the skating he does, is studying for a degree and has a job yet he's had a playstation since he was about 7 or 8.

care homes are always crying out for staff, even unqualifed. they like having the young uns so they can pay um less. At least its a job though, and can make the kids realise that maybe they should try and train for something better than minimum wage, if that is what they want

Right, that's just what the poor vulnerable residents need, f_ckless teenage carers who don't give a damn.

And people are surprised at what goes on in care homes.

Don't give him any money, take the xbox away.

Tell him if he wants it back, he can pay for the monthly internet bills and electricity.

I was brought up on Amiga's, playstation and so-on. I still play on the PC, but I wouldn't consider myself lazy considering I have a full time job, studying for ACCA/BSc in Physics and a member of the RMR.

I agree that some people do take it too far, but this can be with anything, whether it's TV, football, eating, skating - whatever.
