I'll keep an eye out but her view on age "appropiate" is off. I don't feel he needs to get up on his own, cook breakfast and dinner for himself, have time management down. He's 16 he'd sleep all day if he could, have raman for breakfast and dinner, and have no motivation to do anything but games. I mean other kids are forced to be in school for 6+ hour not managing their time. Why would my son be any different?
