    I have asked for our kid to do lessons for the past 5 or 6 years. My wife said that i can't make him behave and i better not ever whoop him. He won't do lessons and will not brush his teeth. She just buys him games and forgets about the lessons i guess. He is 12 now with a kindergarten education.
