Well, I have a dilemma with my son. He really wants to start racing this year, and I have told him that we can do that, but I set certain conditions. He had to get his grades up; he had to spend two hours on homework every evening; he had to do his chores cheerfully; and he had to treat his mother with respect.
Well, he has been doing his homework faithfully, and he has raised his grades. He does his chores, not cheerfully, maybe, but not sullenly, either. But he hasn't been as respectful to his mother as I would like to see. While he isn't outright disrespectful, he acts surly and sullen, won't answer questions readily, and won't talk to her about his day at school, etc., without being forced, and then he's unpleasant about it.
I have already warned him once this week, and he had another surly display this morning. I just don't know whether I should give him another chance. TORO's first race is this weekend. Should I make him wait until the next race, November 11?
