[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 273561, member: 7083"] OMG. The kid got online and checked his grades for the year and says to me, "You're right. I'm not going to graduate." :hammer: Ya think? That's why I've been riding his hiney all. year. long. "I didn't think my grades in earlier quarters were this bad." How could you not?!! I knew and I didn't check online. I've been telling him and telling him and telling him, but apparently my words come out of my mouth and just float out into space. "I'm going to have to take my senior year all over again." Been trying to tell ya, kid. :tearinghair: I told him to talk to his guidance counselor tomorrow and find out how this is going to work for next year; if he can go for half a day or if he can go to JVS to take the classes he needs. Then I told him that I'm out of it. I'm tired of being told to "get out of my [carp] and let me handle it" and that I'm being a B and not being supportive. Now it's on him to figure it out. And my heart is breaking for his girlfriend. She is such a sweetheart and he's not going to do better than her. I know relationships end and heartache is inevitable, but it's hard to watch someone you care about in pain. :crying: easy child did ask me if I still want her to move in. I told him that it's not going to work very well since they are no longer together. He said he would move out. "Where would you go?" He said he'd stay with his friend, K. I told him that K has a baby on the way and did he really think they'd want him there with a baby? He said by then he'd be 18 and he could get his own place. Then I asked him how he was going to pay for it. He said, "Well, I thought you wanted me out anyway." I told him only if continues with the attitude he's had. He said girlfriend needs out of her home. At least he's got some compassion for her. Sigh. Teenagers....real life birth control. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
