I am very very confused at the reactions to this current difficult child situation.
difficult child STOLE from my father. Took money right out of his wallet. Was caught because the wallet was not fully in the pocket.
My parents (the Gparents) locked difficult child out. We picked him up and he will spend a few days here with us.
I spoke with my mom today. She is very upset, feels betrayed and violated. I totally understand this. She is not sure if she wants difficult child back. I understand that.
My dad then called. He had a hard time getting to sleep last night. And had nightmares.
My dad said difficult child could go back tonight. What?????? My mom is not on that page, or at least that is not what she led me to understand.
My dad said that most, if not all, teens do this.
What??????
Stealing from your parents is NOT something all kids do. It just isn't. More teens would be dead if it was.
I truly do not know what the man is thinking. He also doesn't think my child needs to take the more challenging classes next year. difficult child will spend 1/2 day at the vocational school learning machinist stuff. He has to take an English class. And he only needs the English and 1/2 credit of something else to graduate.
College is not in difficult child's mind when planning all of this. He wants choir and drama and yearbook for his classes. Which means he will do very little learning. He doesn't want to take a 2nd language year (which colleges want). difficult child doesn't want to take any science. difficult child is refusing (who does he think he is??) to take the Algebra 2 class again.
I don't understand why difficult child thinks he CAN refuse to take classes.
I don't understand these aliens who have possessed my father. If I ever brought home a D in a math class (or any class) my father would have waited until my mom was not home and then beaten the stuffing out of me. I KNOW at one point he used a belt on my bro for getting a D.
MY father would NEVER have let me get away with a year of school with no science or math. He was a science teacher and I had to take a science EVERY year.
difficult child wants to take forensics.
Why does anyone think my difficult child needs lessons in being a criminal? difficult child would use everything in forensics to try to get away with stealing, lying, and various criminal activities.
Right now I am restraining myself from going up to the high school to see difficult child's schedule for next year - and changing it to suit myself.
If difficult child stays here I WILL go change that schedule. He can like it or lump it.
Not sure what will shake out for the future. I think shaking his teeth out should be considered mandatory!!! Thanks for the reminder Star!
