Letting go......
Ok - so I am continuing on with my goal....exercising everyday and praying (nearly) every day. Now onto my new goal (guess I should post it) .......letting go. The reason? Letting myself get caught up in trying to get my son to focus on school, cooperating with the tutoring, etc.....has been very unhealthy for me. My son needs to take more ownership with his schooling and if he doesn't it isn't my problem. I can only do so much for him. I can provide the help, I can remind him, I can whatever it takes to him help help himself BUT I cannot force him. So far I've managed to help him get his grade up by finding out what material he needs to make up and set it up with the tutor and he has worked hard in it but he still has a ways to go. If he's not willing so be it. It's a difficult thing to do but .....ADD or not......willingness or not, I cannot take his burden on if he refuses to do a bit more. Hopefully, he will come around. He has come a long way and for that I am extremely grateful. Life is better.....I decided to enjoy it more.....focusing on the positive!

Good for you and I think ultimately good for him (T)!
Consider having him write down the consequences (other than grades) for not making up the work.....and make sure he has his own daytimer for contacting the tutor or whatever. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! I am hoping the Monday counseling session goes well. Take Care!
