[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 576824, member: 15810"] We had something like this happen before Christmas. The middle school does this assembly for the kids who make honor roll. The parents get invited to come and see their child's name get announced. They walk across the stage, get congratulated by the principal and the vp, and get a reward. When the ceremony for the first quarter rolled around I rearranged my whole morning to be there. Then something triggered him that morning and he just finally screamed at me not to even bother to go because he didn't want me there because he knows I really didn't want to go because I don't love him, anyway. So, I didn't go. And in all honesty, I didn't even feel badly about it. When he got home that afternoon he said he was sorry and that he really DID want me there, but by the time he calmed down and realized this he was being marched to the assembly. I looked right at him and said, "It must have really sucked being the only kid there who didn't have his family there to cheer for him." Maybe he learned something that day. That is really is nice to have your mom there cheering for you, regardless of whether he thinks I want to be there or not. [/QUOTE]
