[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 594769, member: 2196"] Online school isn't an option because I work full time and if difficult child were to be left home alone she would never do the work. She would be on the computer playing around or watching TV or sleeping. Right now she is in very small, self contained classes with only about eight students each, and she has to have an aide work with her one on one to get her to do anything. Without constant supervision and help she simply sits there and stares off into space or doodles on her paper. So right now I feel like public school is her only option. School has always been a struggle to her, but it's only been this year that she has outright refused to go. She has never been an attendance problem until she started high school this year. It's going to be a long three years at this rate and i am going to consider myself lucky if she ever graduates. And as far as the boyfriend, he never says anything around difficult child. He texts me his opinions while I'm at work and she has no idea what his suggestions are. As far as she's concerned, it's all me. But now he's pulling the "I told you so" card and it's p*ssing me off. I did what the school psychiatric and therapist suggested which was to take everything away for a day. So it didn't work. Live and learn. Now I know it wasn't harsh enough but he doesn't have to rub it in my face that he was right. Now if his suggestion doesn't work then it's my turn to say, "I told you so." [/QUOTE]
