[QUOTE="Shari, post: 337325, member: 1848"] Our (ahem...) easy child 2 is almost 13, but she couldn't care less about school, either. I dont know how it will work out, but we have opted to take the "not my problem" route. It seems to harsh, and its so hard to do, but every time we did anything to help her she'd just lie about it, anyway. So we are now letting the chips fall where they may. *** One chip is going to hurt. I presume her mother will make her attend summer school (she'll be attending from our house - it was the deal when school started - do the work and get the help you need = no summer school; don't = summer school), and if so, summer school doesn't end this year until July 2. She will miss our 4th of July camping trip. At first, I worried about working it out. Now, I'm not. Its a natural consequence of her choices. *** I agree with trying a day off and asking her input on what might help...but beyond that...not sure what more you can do, other than hope she hits bottom while you're still around and able to help her pick up the pieces and move on.
