Did it again.......

Yesterday T was the charmer.  I thought he was "getting it" and I was starting to see an improvement in his attitude.  He was actually kinda pleasant until he asked me if I'd take him to get his drivers permit and in the same breath asked me to turn his cell back on.  First I complimented him on his better attitude - coming home at a reasonable time -- but told him it would be another week before he earns it back.  "A WEEK, I CAN'T WAIT A WEEK!!!'  So he leaves and didn't come home last night and didn't make it to school.  The driver came to pick him up and he was a no show.  Baby, Baby.   I told my husband that he HAD TO TALK TO HIM.  The talk didn't quite go as I had hoped - it was more yelling and venting (understandable) but maybe T had to see and hear my husband upset?  Maybe he got across to him in some way?   I also know that , although my husband didn't say it, directly, he blames me, for T-Man's behavior because I was responsible for turning  off his phone.  He said whenever T's cell is turned off he runs amuck.  Well?  Didn't he beforehand?   At this point - although I intend to keep his phone off for awhile - must see an attitude change - we will have to move to the next level.
