[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 105518, member: 1904"] He said he would be as supportive as he could be, agreed that groundings and consequences handed out by me would stay in effect, that he "thinks" he understands why I feel like walking and that he thought I was strong enough to deal with it because he doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy. Now last night was the test....Becky's math teacher called....and I asked husband to get on the extension so that he could hear for himself instead of second hand from me with Becky yattering away at me. She has failed her math class...because she refuses to be quiet in class. She is the most disruptive student, yells out inappropriately while the teacher is leading a lesson, will not take the exams. And husband got quite an earful from this woman. Seems Becky told the teacher dad said it was okay to be rude and nasty to the teacher, that he told her teachers are idiots and not worth their pay....seems she's said quite a bit. We thanked her for calling and sat down....together!...and talked and talked and talked...both of us listening this time...yep guilty of not sometimes....and HE came up with the consequences which we both laid down at breakfast this morning.. Absolutely no computer time at all...if it's needed for school He will sit beside her and make sure that is what it is; no phone calls to or from friends, no extra xmas money which means no movies, fries with friends(he always gave the kids $$ to have fun during their break). Than he told her he loved her. Said he was very disappointed she thought this was the right way to act as a "young adult" and that she needed to pull her marks up as your mom and I already did school. I told her it's her responsibility to approach the teacher, apologize and ask how she could possibly bring her mark up to a bare passing grade. A very quiet girl left for school today.....we shall see. ButI am very proud of my husband today....he deserves a tim hortons coffee [img]:coffee:[/img] I am not thinking this is a miracle but it's one small battle won today in a huge war I have been fighting alone....I know there will be slipbacks, backoffs, no stands but it's a beginning and I'll take it.
