That is a tough one. He’s obviously hurting inside. The only option I see is counseling or an away “camp” for troubled teens but that sounds expensive. Are there any resources thru the school?
So sorry.

What does he say when you sit him down and have a heart-to-heart? Ask him if he thinks living with you is a good idea or would he rather go into foster care? See if you can draw him out and then really listen to what he says.

Is it really Tuesday? I haven't decided what day it feels like, but it does NOT feel like Tuesday.

Maybe it's time to get a folding screen or two, maybe put up curtains in the middle of a hallway to block the view...
This guy is a real character
YES!!! Tuesday means NCIS is on TV tonight!Is it really Tuesday? I haven't decided what day it feels like, but it does NOT feel like Tuesday.
Our schools are horrible but I am looking into outside resources!
He so agreeable and full of “yes mams” that it’s sickening.. I can’t seem to really get through.. and usually I’m good at that.. I have asked him what he wants, we he likes, etc... I’m just not sure what to believe from him now..:-(
Hopefully tomorrow is better.. crossing my fingers!

Look! It's a stranger, o wait.. it's just me[emoji12]
Hope everybody is well, perhaps Carol will give me one of her awesome summaries.
Hubby is currently dealing with an "offer war" between three jobs, apparently his resume was quite the catch (I'll take credit for that).
We are currently looking at jobs in..
Oklahoma- this interview was just a couple days ago and it went really well, but they want to do a "test" online before deciding what pay they want to offer. The benefits package are amazing though!
Texas- we we're looking at two jobs here but declined one. The remaining possiblity is a newer company that really needs a full time mechanic/technician, they originally offered an "entry-level" pay which we had turned down but they contacted us back with a new, more reasonable offer. This was after four machines went down in a week and they had to hire people to come in and fix them. Apparently the cost was enough for them to rethink having someone with experience on hand. Benefits are OK.
Montana- I think I mentioned this one last time I was on. The interview went great but there is a lot of pros and cons about the job. Only a couple days after the interview they contacted us back and requested ANOTHER interview before we had given a response to their offer. They have made it clear that they may want to increase the offer if this one goes well also. The pros for this job are that this is a management job and hubby will be running his own shop with a small crew, they offer a monthly bonus depending on how profitable business was, it's in a VERY small town. Cons are that insurance is pretty high and the actual base pay isn't that great.
We turned down the job in Missouri.
I decided not to do the large commission piece, the individual just couldn't seem to decide on what they wanted so I told them that I wasn't sure if I would have time to complete it before the move.
I Ruined the piece that I was working on after I spilt a glass of milk on it... Yep, I cried over the spilt milk.
So now im working on a different piece, trying out a new type of paper that I'm liking so far.
Daughter has been taking swimming lessons.. she takes after me and sinks like a rock.
Hubby has been trying to work on Clunker's wagon when the weather permits. When it's raining or to cold we try to get more stuff done inside the house.
Gosh I think that about sums it up for me! It's so nice to be able to chat about what's going on in my life, and to hear about what's going on in the lives of others.
