[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 633452, member: 15796"] My daughter was put into alternative school and that was the most ridiculous waste of time for everyone. It was a joke - they did no real school work. They would hand out worksheets and watch movies. Meanwhile I had to stress about the transportation BOTH ways while trying to work. I didn't work from home at that time. When she got into trouble at school again for trying to sell drugs, they told me she would spend the rest of the year in alternative school (it was the beginning of her sophomore year). At that point, I said forget it. She could pull out of school and I had her get her GED that spring. My daughter, now, will tell you that it is her fault she is where she is in life. She has major, big time regrets. She can't even get a job at a lot of places because she has shoplifting on her record. But at that time, everything was our fault and she was just the victim. Your daughter blaming you is true GFGdom. She is the captain of her ship and she can drive it anywhere she wants. She is 18 now. Living at home is a privledge, not a right. Maybe it is time to experience the real world? [/QUOTE]
