[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 189393, member: 1233"] Oh, we TOTALLY believe in natural consequences!!! We also insist, and have insisted on schoolwork during the day, though we stretch it "until Dad gets home from work" which is a couple of hours later. This was teh rule while homeschooling and is STILL the rule. Ms. Jess is NOT even WALKING around the fair - all those power cables for the rides, you know. She has been working on catching up and extra assignments from mom - including the essay, "Why it is NEVER a good idea to try to put one over on Mom and Dad" and the essay, "Why it is a bad bad BAD idea to try to pit Mom and Dad against each other". The latter essay is the consequence of telling Mom that you don't know why Dad did X, when in fact YOU did X. She was very subdued this evening. She will continue her medications as teh doctor recommended - as I said, she truly does have a back spasm. BUT she is also getting a chore list done. It is funny, around here teh idea that your kid would have to do school work when home sick is a rare one. That your child has chores to do during the school year is even rarer. This is NOT according to my kids friends - it is according to the other PARENTS!! "Johnny Sue couldn't POSSIBLY wash the dishes or mow the yard - grades are just TOO important to US." (If I had a dime for every time I heard another parent say this I could fly us ALL first class to stay at a fancy resort!!) I am glad that here I have friends with similar values!!! [/QUOTE]
