[QUOTE="SRL, post: 124243, member: 701"] Declaring yourself the winner without hearing the competition? Tsk, tsk... I think I deserve bonus points because my 14 year old easy child lost it. Yes that's easy child!!!--he was scheduled to take a math test today and blew off my suggestions that he study throughout the weekend. At 4pm yesterday I checked his math grade online and made the decision that not only would he not be going to the super bowl party, he wouldn't even watch the SB at home, because he would be studying instead. He tantrumed like I haven't seen him in years: door slamming, yelling, even telling me that he hated me. I had to keep from laughing when he'd worked through it far enough to yell "I know I need to study but I can't let Mom win this!!!!". It was ugly--he got a 50% on the practice test and started a second round of tantruming around 10 pm. I'm guessing the test will be put off tomorrow so I'm vying for some extra credit because we'll get to do it all over again. I had just taken dinner and snacks downstairs and the game was starting when difficult child threw easy child Sr. down to the ground and thumped her hard on the back. I never did figure out what it was about but he didn't show one iota of remorse. He was banned to his room until around half time. [/QUOTE]
