[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 613089, member: 2196"] We have been arguing about this nonstop since Saturday. easy child reminded me of the assembly last night and she went off on me again. I went to the assembly today as promised, but I am not going to say another word about it. easy child actually had an even higher GPA last year than this year. He was all straight A's with a 4.0. This year he has four A's and two B's. Last year easy child bragged to everybody about his accomplishments. He really was proud of himself. For some reason it didn't seem to affect difficult child like it does this year. At least she never let on that she was upset back then. Maybe she does feel a little guilty so she's taking it out on me. It just burns me up because I have always been extra careful not to compare my kids to one another. That's the kind of BS their father does. Last year he told difficult child she has no chance of being a success in life, unlike easy child who was going to go far. That really hurt her, and I don't blame her at all for being upset at HIM. But she needs to vent her anger towards the people that deserve it and leave me alone. This morning I texted her before school to ask if she was on the bus. When she told me that she made it on the bus and was on her way to school, I texted her back and told her I was proud of her. I hope that at least accounts for something, and tonight she leaves the drama behind. [/QUOTE]
