Ss grades have dropped very low! Surprised?! Nope not at all.

Ss therapist came by monday. She asked me to print out his missing assignments to go over with dh.

I was a little floored by the E in one subject. But i figured it be As in the stuff like music and gym, the rest all Cs and he is about to have a D in math.

Whatever. This is what happens when you let you child do whatever.

Before the therapist came i texted ss "be home by 5:30, please."
He sent back a ok:)
Around 5 he texts his father "can i eat dinner at friends house?"

Like really? Are you kidding me. This is why i hate them so much these little crappy sneaky things!! Dh knew i texted him and did not even call ss out!! It be nice to see a "well missstark told you to be home ar 530, right?" Call him out!!!

The therapist gets there were are going over how ss has been spending his time.

Thats when i find out about these texts.

Dh had sent him a no come home. Ss because he can be a smart ass- texts back "why? I need a reason."

Now at this point ss is outside by the trash cans, with his friends.

Dh text "because i said so."

Then he would not let me see the response i saw it later and knew why...ss typed "can i know? It could be something good, or something stupid. Im not coming home for something stupid."

Lol. But at the sametime what did he expect? Then he finally comes inside and has this attitude. Which i expected its more like he is putting on a show than a real attitude.

Anyway - i should have just left. But i was there listening to ss being a satcastic brat. Dh trying to parent but failing big time. I tried to help out but that just made dh take his frustration out on me.

The one thing i liked was he called/referred to ss as a child. I hear this ALL the time he still acts like ss 6 years old. And the therapist said "He is not a child, and he is very smart."

Thank you!!

Yes he is.

Anyway dh does not get it. Nothing really happened to ss... he did not even followup with ss after therapist left.

If it was me id be calling the school counselor and find out if the 2 teachers would be willing to inital his agenda book till his grades come up.

But that will never happen.

Im just so irritated with them. Ss needs a full on reality check.

On his phone he spent a fullday searching "rich dropouts" "famous dropouts" "millionairs no college"

Dh get a clue man.

Your son needs his ass beat and he needs to sit down with employment applications. Or show him his other options for school.

Im still irritated by the text, if thats not showing how little he listens.

Next time she comes for a family session, i will not be there. Hopefully i find a cool mom friend from this group, ill be with her, not listening to an hour of BS!!

Its crazy how tense you get listening to a brat disrespect you husband, then it changes to disgust, that your husband lets this happen! Ughh.
