S1 - wohs - Oct 2015

S1 confided to me today that he got a D in the BC calc quarterly !
The usual supremely aggravating backNforth happened subsequently. Finally, there was one thing that he said which I want to log here ... he said "Dad, why did you not make me work more hard during my elementary years ? Why did you not make me work on my merit badges ? ... Why were you not stricter with me ?"

Of course, I immediately took the bait and indicated that I had been after his case during those years and that I had wanted to be strict but he did no like it and did not obey it.

So, here I am ... stuck in-between ... he wants me to be strict and yet does not like/obey when I try to be strict !!!
What should I do ? What can I do ?

Middle age crisis or depression or genuine misfortune?

Dis-satisfied with health, wealth, self-esteem, work, colleagues, manager, friends / lack thereof, wife, development of kids, the way they are being brought up ... is this really as bad?  Or am I being pessimistic?  Or is this just a passing phase? 
See no way out ... or is the way out of this through self-change?
Who can decisively say for sure?  And will I trust it if someone did?  And do I have the ability to follow through?
Where do i start ? How do I start?
It all seems so overwhelming!!! Or am I making it so?

Shaurya wakes up ... by himself !

Shaurya woke up today by himself, much earlier than expected, Yesterday he had MB event for home game. Slept @ 11 pm or later and today he has to show up @ 9:45 at WOHS.
Surprised at this display of concerned responsibility.

The beginning ...

This is my first blog. Have fond hopes that this turns into something creatively (and monetarily !!) satisfying. And that this becomes into a proud legacy for my kids !!
