We decided on the consequences for my 12 yr. old. He is on restriction from all things fun (with the exception of reading, drawing and playing his guitar) for 7 days. He is missing out on a day of shooting with his dad. He is going to get to spend time with My One Tru Love, but not shooting. I didn't want time with dad to be a reward, or used as punishment. That relationship needs all the help it can get. But, the fun day of shooting, gone. So far so good. He is reading The Bridge to Terabithia and playing outside. Which can't hurt. Hopefully, he'll learn something from all of this.
The "not cut out for parenting" feeling remains. I'm not sure.
