The Skid's Report Card ------- HONOR ROLL WTF??????

Rags's picture

So, last night I checked the mail when I got home. The Skid's report card was in the box. I opened the envelope and burst out laughing. Whay you may wonder ....... he made the high honor role GPA of 3.58.

My wife pops in the room and asks what is so funny. I handed her the report and she turned purple and started her "I am gonna kill that damned kid" mantra. She had to have repeated it 4 or 5 times.

She was more mad at him for making the honor role than she was when he flunked out of Boarding School (Military) at Christmas time.

We may have the only high school senior on the planet in trouble with his parents for making the honor role.

My dad's response was "great time to get motivated" and he urged us "not to get complacent with him, he does this then shoves his head back up his ass". Unfortunately Dad is right.

We pick him up from the airport on Sunday afternoon to start the 3wk post SpermClan visitation Detox period.

Oh Joy!

After she finished her killing the kid mantra she tossed his report card back at me and said "I still don't want him home".

She really does but she is so hurt that he lifted his leg on the opportunities she (and we) have worked so hard to provide for him that he is going to have to finish med school, a PhD in astro physics then cure cancer and win the Nobel prize for medicine, physics and the peace prize for curing global terrorism before she wants him back in the house.

This kid is so screwed. He has the wrath of mom to contend with.

And the march toward graduation and Marine Corps boot camp continues.

He flunked out of boarding school the first semester of his Sr Yr after being an honor student his entire Jr Yr. We brought him home in Dec 2009 and enrolled him in our local HS for the last semester of his Sr Yr of HS and have been up his butt to stay on top of his studies.

Apparently our foot up his butt has been working. His Mom (My Wife) is pissed off at him because he is incapable of providing his own motiviation and gave up incredible opportunity the first opportunity the first semester. I am pissed at hinm also but have been doing what I can to temper his Mom's anger.

She then found a video game system box and manuals under his bed earlier this week that the SpermClan gave him in Aug 2009 for his B-day without our knowledege which goes along way to understanding why he fluked out of boarding school and why we have had to stay up his ass this semester.

We are pretty much fed up with him and the SpermClan and can't wait for his to graduate HS next month and get on with his own life.

He will always be our son and we will always do what we can to counter the toothless idiocy that the SpermClan keeps influencing him with. But ......... after 16yrs of countering the SpermClan crap and our Son's (my SS) incessant need to play video games with his idiot BioDad and inability to stay focused on his studies we are extrememly fed up. Even though he only sees the SpermClan 7wks a year and spends the rest of his time under our tutiledge they have an extreme influence over him.

We are just tired that is all. His grades this grading period are certainly exiting, we are just exhausted over having to stay up his ass in order to keep him focused.

Is it for his failure to apply himself sooner?

Well, Einstein was a mega couch potato ...

Yep, it is that and the video game system box, manuals and countless pages of internet printouts on game research she found under his bed this week while he has been visiting the SpermClan for Spring Break.

They bought him the game system against my wifes wishes in Aug 2009 prior to him starting his Sr Yr of Military boarding school. He flunked out of boarding school so we brought him home in Dec 2009 to finish HS locally.

We are exhausted from 16yrs of having to counter the toothless SpermClan drama. His making honor role the last semester of his Sr Yr of HS after gaming his way out of the incredible Military Boarding School opportunity his mom and I have provided on the game system SpermDad and the SpermClan sneeked to him is just the icing on the cake.

We had no idea that he has had the game system his entire Sr Yr.

Did he maybe flunk Military School on purpose? In high school, I was pretty much a straight A student. My parents had me switch to a private Catholic school and I didn't do so hot because I HATED it there. I wasn't failing but my work certainly showed no effort. After three months, went back to my high school and my grades went back to what they were.

Silver,

He was an Honor Student his first year at the school. His BioDad gave him a video game system for his B-Day in Aug 2009 and he proceeded to fail the first semester of his Sr Yr.

Oh sorry. For some reason I had it in my head that he had switched to the military school. Darn video games. They are the devil sometimes.
