I am at my wit' s end . Youngest DS starts his GCSEs this week and is refusing to revise. He was never very academic (able but lazy) but we thought he would get a few passes. In the last few months he has become friendly with a boy who joined the school and he is never in . He Has wanted a best mate for ages so I am loath to try and split them up.DS has never been an angel but started behaving badly at school despite being told he will be banned from the school prom.
We have told he can have one night out at the weekend while his exams are on. He agreed but now is sulking as he is " the only one not allowed out!" He has not kept to his side of the bargain and done some revision. We have never really pushed him and have taken a step back so as not to put the pressure on.
I know it's not the end of the world and he can 're-sit but it's so frustrating and I wonder where I have gone wrong
How do you acknowledge Easter.
