My son opened his own account about a year and a half ago. He liked going out with me. Not always but a few times per month. We would get home and I told him he has to do his logs. “After dinner” was a common response to me telling him. Well after dinner would turn into tomorrow, and tomorrow would turn into this weekend, etc. etc. Eventually weeks would go by and still no logs written. I was finally getting a bit cross with him and asked him half yelling why he won’t do them. His response was that it takes too long because he can’t type. I mentioned that I can’t either, but the more you do it, the easier it will get. Then he wanted to know why he has to do them? I told him that if he wants to cache, he has a certain responsibility to the cache owners to post a log. I even told him that all he has to do is one or two logs per day until they are done. He still wouldn’t do them. Finally I told him I won’t take him any more until he starts doing them. Even that didn’t phase him. I can’t even get him to go with me for a FTF, thinking that that will get him motivated. I’m pretty
much on my own now. I’m just hoping that this is just a phase with him. He will be turning 13 in four months. I can’t even get him to go to Fleet/Farm with me anymore. Anyway, I told him to write something out that would kind of cover most of the caches that we find, and I would type it up and show him how to cut and paste. At least that would be better than “I found it. Thanks”.
Thank you for the nice suggestions. I will have to point this out to him.
