[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 2832031, member: 5388"] Back at the first of the year, I was very gung-ho about GenCon this year. It's my second trip to the convention, and my 12 year old was going to accompany me. My son is very intelligent, near-genius level IQ, but he's become a complete slacker where his school work is concerned. We've given him chance after chance to get his act together and bring his grades up to the level we know he's capable of, but he just doesn't try. It's not that he's "not challenged"; we put him in AP classes at his request. He's just too lazy to do the work. So, after endless threats and entreaties, with him in the room, I cancelled his GenCon 4 day pass. He was upset, of course. I'm just as upset. I was really hoping to bring him along, as he was very excited about going. Now, I don't feel like it, either. I'm torn as to whether or not I should cancel my own pass now. Anyway... just venting.
