Reply #7: yes when the city has to threaten to prosecute you

to get you to make your kids go to school, I think we can say you gots a problem, Mom.

I called a parent of a 2nd grader the other day to tell him his son was not doing homework or most of his work in class. The dad said that when he tells him to do his homework, the kid refuses and cries. He asked me if he cries at school too.

I told him this child is old enough not to cry when he doesn't get his way. No he doesn't cry at school and he shouldn't be doing it at home either. And I expected to see that homework come back tomorrow.

Next day, the kid was absent. The secretary called. Dad told her he cried and cried and didn't want to go to school so Dad let him stay home.

This kid will be a handful when he is a teenager. He already has Dad wrapped around his finger.
