So he's been in school for about 3 weeks now. He was talking to dh last week about how great he was doing and getting everything done, making good grades, and such. Well I got on his school website and found out that he's already been absent two days and had 4 tardies already. He has about 10 late assignments. Of course, dh said he really thought ss was sounding mature since he was talking this way about school-and it was all a lie!

That's been my attitude of late as well-it just makes my pukey that dh believes his lies. SS had the balls this week to call my dd "freaking stupid" over and over again and she is one of the top 4 students in her grade, is in advanced classes, etc

We've got the same situation. My bd and ss are in the same grade, different schools. All 3 of my bios are excellent students and ss has always struggled. Not because he is incapable of doing the work (this is what all the teachers have said) but because he just doesnt want to do it. His poor grades are often related to not turning in homework and not completing in class work. BD and SS were in the same classroom all the years that ss lived here. Which in some ways I am thankful for. SS would go to school and say he didnt have homework done because I refused to help him, I didnt get him the proper supplies, etc-but eventually they would look to my dd and see that she always had hers done had the proper supplies and so forth.

Yeah, my ss is also a liar, very deceitful, will stand and look you right in the eye and tell you a flat out lie.

Hey my SS is the same too. What a shock. Lied about being enrolled for classes 2x and pissed the tuition away, and DH has the same empty threat, "you won't be welcome to live here anymore", not that he's ever made good or ever will.

As of a month ago he was enrolled in a real college and making an attempt at doing the work. 2 Weeks ago he was complaining that it was difficult for him to concentrate and keep up with the work, after his first projects were due I think he quit going to class. Nothing new.

When this attempt to force my SS to do something besides sit on his butt and play video games flops, DH will cave and make some other empty threat.

I hope your husband has a breaking point at how much deceitfulness and dishonesty he'll put up with.

What is wrong with these parents? No one is trying to take their child away from them?
