Although, by the age of 7, my attitude was if you want to go outside in a t-shirt when it's 20 degrees, fine, just don't bitch to me later. That seemed to work (although the fact that my youngest refused to wear a winter coat drove many people crazy).
I also stoped checking homework after elementary school. Aaron eventually figured out that maybe actually doing his hhonework once in a while might improve his average.
Oh, and bad news - being an empty nester hasn't helped because I idiotically married the world's biggest slob. I won't go into it because it depresses me but the guy seems to be completely oblivious to the world around him.
