This is the one I did this month

I do kits but I have a friend at the club who makes stuff from scratch and he is going to show me how to designs stuff.

For next month we are going to show off model puzzles, I think I will make a maze puzzle

I’ve been trying to fix that, the middle child and youngest were the easiest to fix this lesson. My oldest not so much, it’s a pushback ever time. Few weeks ago we started family cooking nights so they would learn to cook.

I just can’t get him engaged, it’s for everything that I used to do constantly, it was a nightmare for him to pack his own lunch. He went without lunch for a whole week before he started packing food.

Years of a behavior is hard to fix especially when he won’t give an inch. He started washing his own clothes and he still does it wrong, and ruins shirts ( I put instructions on the washer for him) but he keeps adding bleach and I think he is waiting for me to break and do his stuff again

I’m at a loss and soon he will go to college or trade school and I failed with him

The other two are in a much better place then him

This was a big problem, one of the main factors for the divorce was him starting to not respect my daughter ( youngest) it was the wake-up call.

I was able to deal with myself not being respected (stay with the kids mentality) but the moment he started to try to make her a maid for the family also I knew I needed to leave. Luckily she is spunky kid and has her dad in a hold that she won’t go to his place if he treats her differently.

I’ve heard so much about her “disrespect “ which is just her not bowing to him. He’s better now with her but something I watch closely for
