[QUOTE="ksm, post: 589019, member: 12511"] If difficult child just knew when to keep her mouth shut she would be so much further ahead. She didn't get home until 5:45 and had her BFF with her. I told her that BFF needed to go on home so we could talk. I get an innocent "why?" Grrr... Tried to get her side of story, but it differed somewhat than what the teacher had said. Then I started getting the attitude as "it wasn't fair, you are supposed to get a detention first, then an after school Friday. And I never got a detention, I am going to talk to Mr. Pxxxxx and ask him about that." Geesh. Never learns. Plus she tried to tell me her teacher gave her the Friday school... but finally got the rest of the story that she had to go to the office. And she did talk to Mr Pxxxxx. Plus the fiasco with the computer class. Supposedly she stayed after today and worked on assignment... I think I need another email to the teacher to verify that. Then she wants to get on FB... and husband frowned... and she lost it. I tried to explain that I didn't see that she felt "contrite" about what had happened, but only had excuses. Then she got an attitude about "I don't even understand the word 'contrite' and why can't you talk like other parents? Who uses CONTRITE?" So I lost it and said basically it means you are acting like an A...hole and aren't sorry for what you did!" Not one of my prouder moments... KSM [/QUOTE]
