[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 98709, member: 3419"] Sigh. NOT. Working. He's been more forgetful lately, and then when things go wrong, it's MY fault. Grrr. Apparently when the teacher got my email, he got into trouble and she put him in Time Out for 10 min. LOL!!!! Way To Go, teacher! I told him he was grounded off the computer. He started to cry in the car and told me I was making his day worse. (Yup, my fault.) I said "Worse in what way?" "First it was the email, which I did NOT tell you to send!" (Not true, he shouted at me to do it because he didn't know what double meant. Double spacing?) "Then I got in trouble for not doing my Social Studies chart." (That's Mom's fault?) "Then I didn't eat lunch because the teacher and the principal said that instead of just raising our hands when our names are called, I should write down the lunch order and turn it in, and they would remind me. But no one called my name. So I talked to the principal and she said just the opposite--that no one should have to remind me!" (A bit of a "listening-to-instructions" problem here.) I asked him why he didn't eat the snack in his backpack. "Because I didn't know you packed one." (Uh, I've been packing them since kindergarten ...) And the crowning glory was my answer, "I didn't pack it. YOU did. It was in a brown paper lunch bag right on top of your backpack this morning and I told you twice to put it in there." He turned his back to me and pouted all the way home. He'll learn. Slowly, very slowly, but surely. [img]:hammer:[/img] [/QUOTE]
