Leading a dead horse
For the past few months, I've been trapped somewhere in between leading a horse to water and beating a dead horse. However, the horse has been neither thirsty, or willing to try something new. I often tell my kids that the meaning of insanity is doing something over and over and expecting different results. It is of course, not a true definition, but a symptom of insanity in which I have chosen to no longer participate.
It makes me sad that a young, extended family member, with so much promise is dooming himself to not be his best, and to not do his best, but I have to take the onus off of myself, and place it where it belongs. Once you have offered opportunity, and resources, and nothing has changed... for months, and months on end, you just have to move on...
And so I am back to working on me, and I am good with that.
Almost done with the real estate course... And need to double up my gym time too, but I was giving that time to someone who did not appreciate it it.
Moving on.
There is a homeschool correlation to this real life story. I have seen many parents decide they were going to homeschool to fix problems their kids were having in school, such as a bad attitude, or lack of effort. Unfortunately, changing the setting, it not going to make a big change if you don't change the heart... shore up the foundation. These are often the kids that wind up back in school having made no progress, allowing schools systems and teachers to announce, that homeschooling is a dismal failure.
If your kid is acting up in school, don't expect homeschooling to change that, unless you are going to change the root problem, and maybe even yourself. In this case, it was just too late, and someone who was already "grown", and who I had no real authority over, wasn't willing to accept what I had to offer.
