Let me preface this by saying I have a feeling what the answers will be.
My son is a sophomore. He's on the honor roll, but I can tell he's coasting, because I still have to ride his ass to make sure his work is getting done. This is his first year at a regular public high school. He had been at a charter school and they wore shirt and tie everyday. Long story short, he's been wearing sweats and crocs to school, granted the sweats are whole suits, so they are nice, but his grades started to slip. I took all his shit, and finally it got to the point where I took his crocs and all his clothes out his closet. I made a deal with him, that if he takes care of his school business, and supply the evidence, I'd give him different outfit to wear each day. I also said, if he being lazy at all, Imma make you wear the same shit every day. So this mf been wearing what I pick out for him every morning. I didn’t realize how much drip he had in his closet with tags still on em. So yeah, his closet is empty, except for a pair of Jordan 12s and some all white Ones. I been picking out his clothes for him every morning for the past week. I feel like I'm having to re teach this mf how to carry himself in public, and I'm hoping that will carry over into him giving more of a fuck in general. I feel like there's this new thing where kids feel like its ok to go to school half fuckin dressed everyday. Parenting is some weird stuff man, you really have to get creative with this shit.
