Ok, I guess it is a different relationship then. More like a teacher, but with no principal to send him to when he disrupts the class. I volunteer for Sunday school and there are certain kids that aren't getting the discipline at home to behave in the program. We usually end up giving them alternative tasks to the singing and crafts, etc. since they won't follow along.

I guess it takes some pressure off me to try and be this super dad to him.

Thanks
