[QUOTE="Andy, post: 465172, member: 5096"] You know what his intent is. The solution is to pretend otherwise - pretend that you are excited that he is actually taking an interest in his child's schooling. Keep his focus on the CURRENT status of his child's grades, etc. Let him know that the school is more than willing to do a separate parent/teacher conference with him (I would warn the teacher ahead of time to have another staff in ear shot to call in if he starts getting out of line). Tell him that your questions to the school are of a Mother's interest and would not help him in knowing/understanding what is going on - father's see things differently! Everytime he tries to bring YOU into the subject, redirect him to his child's interests/needs. Turn a deaf ear to the inappropriate requests and shine light on what a good father would be asking for and how. [/QUOTE]
