I wasn't focusing on the fact that he is only with you for a week. Clearly, he knows he can take advantage of you as much as he wants. BUT- agree that you should find positive ways to relate to him and make the week as enjoyable as possible.
Re: Fornits. I had this silly notion that one could engage in logical discussion and perhaps share some things from a parent's viewpoint. That isn't the way it works. That forum consists mainly of psychopaths who want to punish parents for how they were treated by their own parents, their employers or teen programs they attended several decades ago. There IS no reasoning going on, and turning to that board for advice is masochistic. The owner of the site, Ginger Warbis, clearly damaged way too many brain cells back in her druggie days. Leslie, they are just laughing at your predicament with your son and are gleeful that you are disappointed in the results of his treatment. The things you WON'T find on Fornits- compassion, any knowledge about parenting, rational analysis of programs and respectful dialogue. The good news is that the true nature of the forum is so obvious that one quick look sends anyone with any sense of logic running the other way. The posters are there to amuse each other, which really undermines the alleged purpose of exposing abusive or unethical teen programs.
