[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 571916, member: 6546"] difficult child lies like she breathes....and in a weird way, I've gotten accustomed to it. I listen to the ramblings, assume I'm not getting the full story...and then go on about my day... But sometimes things will happen to bring the lies to the forefront. Like over the break, difficult child's insistence that she needs to get started on this latest song. And then when I got the 2013 calendar - I asked her about the date of the concert...and of course I get a strange answer. "The teacher doesn't know yet..." which makes no sense at all. So of course I get to wondering about this whole adventure - and wondering whether there is any truth at all to the whole darn story? There was another strange thing, too. difficult child attends public school and DS homeschools with an online program....so the two of them have slightly different school calendars. As I was filling in the 2013 calander with all of the school info, I mentioned that DS finishes school a week before difficult child (this makes perfect sense because he STARTED a week before difficult child)... difficult child then explained that I shouldn't write down the info for her school because "Exam Week" and 'Graduation Day' don't apply to her. What??? She explained that because she is a senior this year, she has "senior priviledges"...and among other things she doesn't have to wait for "Exam Week" to take her exams. I told her that didn't make any sense because some of the exams are scheduled by the state and there is no choice about it. I also reminded her that some of her classes require a project in leiu of an exam. I asked her why it would make sense to give a senior less time to do the project than anyone else? But difficult child continued to insist that she would take her exams in the middle of May - thus finishing school a whole week ahead of her brother. And "Graduation Day" in June does not apply to her either. Seniors, she explained, get to graudate in May when they finish their exams. "Graudation Day" is for everyone else - but not the seniors. Really? Well, who is graudating besides the seniors? Not surprisingly, difficult child is not sure....she just knows that SHE will be having HER ceremony in May. And after visiting the Twilight Zone for a while, I come and post here to see which one of us has gone off the deep end... [/QUOTE]
