[QUOTE="DDD, post: 108932, member: 35"] difficult child has a case of teenage obnoxiousness that has begun this year. He has made HUGE progress since middle school but truthfully he is one unusual kid. For an AS teen he is doing fairly well and overall I am pleased. Today, after school, he announced "I am not going to school tomorrow just so you know." [img]:smile:[/img] I responded "any reason for you to want to avoid school tomorrow?" difficult child "No, I am just taking the day off as there will be no real class work and things are always weird before a holiday." Guess what people. I said "fine BUT you do understand that I will not write a note nor will I allow anyone to write an excuse for your absence". He replied "fine, I don't think I'll get in trouble but IF I do it will be my punishment for my decision". I'm not sure if I've gone over the edge or if I have detached from the kid. I'm not going to worry about it. He's a Junior in high school who is 17 going on 14 BUT he does understand that HE gets the consequences of HIS choices. My first seven children would be spinning their heads if I did this with them! [img]:rolleyes:[/img] Too bad. So sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
