I think i`m winning...

It Happened....Another phone call from yet another teacher about being rude in class and not doing homework as well as not doing detention....
I`m getting to the stage where i`m not knowing what to say to the teachers anymore....What can I say????
He went 3 days of not doing his detention and if he chose not to do it on Monday night after school then they were going to take drastic measures and suspend him.....
I wasn`t having any of that....I thought to myself why should he benefit....Staying home just to annoy me even more...uh uh!!!!
Not happening....
So what to do, how to tackle this one....
After a strong cup of coffee I decided that this was the only way he would co operate....
I sent him a sms
Don`t do the detention then it`s a new school which means no more seeing the girlfriend....
You choose....
Guess he took me seriously as he did the detention...lol....
I love using the girlfriend card.
....................................................
As for my girl, she had the scan done yesterday and looks like everything is ok....
It seems like it`s a glandular lump but we`ll know more today after going back to the doctors....
Even though she tried to show she was alright I know she was worried.....
You just never know with lumps.....

  6. Hi Mandy,

    Looks like you have finally found the key to negotiating with your son.....good on you. It must have been really scarey for Krystal. Great to know that it was nothing serious.

    Cheers
