Laughter is the best medicine, unless you've got a really nasty case of syphilis, in which case penicillin is your best bet.

[W]hat the internet and its cult of anonymity do is to provide a blanket sort of immunity for anybody who wants to say anything about anybody else, and it would be difficult in this sense to think of a more morally deformed exploitation of the concept of free speech. - Richard Bernstein in the New York Times

All 4 of mine are off to school tomorrow. One to primary, one starting intermediate, two to college. Oldest was chucked out of school last year for non-attendance but over the last 6 months has realised that it is difficult to get a job without NCEA so he spoke to the principal, promised that he would apply himself, attend all classes and has been re-enrolled on the condition that he realises that if he starts non-attending again he will be out on his ear.

He is 16 lovelee. U know how last year we were having major probs with older 2, well since school finished things have been really great and since we moved into a larger more spacious house everything has been better. Touch wood that it all remains this way. It is great for everyones morale.

Oo mate - thats good news. Does everyone have more 'get-away-from-the-rest' space now?? Its might be all that was needed for a growing family. I would suggest that you prepare yourself though leopards and their spots, u know Check out the tertiary levels of education for him - something hes interested in to start with. For some of these kids round this age - they should be able to do a couple of subjects at College and take a tertiary subject too - to give them a feeling of betterness.

Definitely more get away from the rest space. It's a 4 bedroom house so the boys get their own rooms which has certainly helped the oldest. The girls prefer sharing at this stage. I know we will still have problems but I feel better able to deal with them now.
