Dixie State...

Tyler has been accepted to Dixie State College...that is IF he graduates from high school! Love that boy to death but he is on a very unsteady road at this point in his life. He will be 18 in a few weeks...do we intervene & try to make him see the "error of his ways" or do we let him suffer the consequences of his choices?

Hardest job in the world...being a parent! We had a long talk with Tyler last night about everything that has been going on including his grades, attendance issues & naughty behavior. He has a "reason" or an "excuse" for everything. And the "naughty" things well they are really "that bad"...so he thinks. We gave him 30 days to clean it all up or we will send him to SG to finish high school or possibly some kind of treatment.

Oh the pain, agony, worry, indecision, stress, guessing, wondering, wishing, hoping...the issues with both our boys are really taking their toll on us.

We gave Colton the same option a few days ago...30 days to get it together or we will send him to a treatment/live in school facility for the next year. Do we want to send our kids away? Hell NO! Is it the right choice...who knows??? We are in agony over this!

We love them, we dislike their behavior. We want the best for them always...do they understand that? I remember being that age and hating my parents...I don't want my children to hate me...BUT...better for them to hate me now than to let them continue down the path they are on.

Here's to hoping things improve soon...*SIGH*...
