We are STILL talking about this mandatory JROTC event.
MANDATORY.
Middle Boy says he is not going, because it is going to be "standing out on a field for four hours for no reason" and "it isn't for a grade".
I explained to him that often times in my work I have to work extra hours beyond 40 and I don't get paid for them, because I am salaried. I just have to do them. It isn't optional.
There are times our office has to do work we don't get paid for, but we don't say "sorry, not doing that", we just do it.
If he doesn't see any benefit to him...it isn't going to happen.
He still hasn't brought home the permission slip.
