Carrie12345 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I sent my 12yo off to his father's this morning so he can leave early tomorrow for a surprise trip to DC. While packing up some school work to be done while his brothers are in school, I discovered he's been skipping a bunch of his science workbook and vocab. Half my fault for giving the kid an inch! So I put a binder and the books he needs in a bag and go upstairs to finish my coffee. As ds and dh are walking out the door, I call down "Don't forget your books!" "I'm not!" is the response, but I can hear the eye roll. 30 minutes later, dd reports that ds has left the bag on the dining room table. Dh and Ex both tell me, just as I suspected, that he's showing all the tell-tale signs of having done it on purpose. :glare: The kid better enjoy his trip, because next week is going to stink for him!

mommaduck Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Been there, done that! The lessons learned from having a grilling amount of make up work was enough to discourage any other siblings from making the same mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
