Yeah, well...

SS has an unfortunate tendency to stash "his" stuff so nobody can "get it." This now includes his schedule for the next year of school. He had both his copy and his father's copy for no reason that is immediately apparent to me.

It hasn't occurred to him that, since I am the main scheduler around here, I really DO need a copy. He can't get registered until I know what fees he has to pay.

He's the most secretive kid I have ever met in my life. It's annoying.

that's called control issues. he'll learn - or not. maybe when he loses enough jobs over it. :-)

Eileen, I'll tell you, the situation got worse after I posted. I now, after communication with his father and the school, think there wasn't an issue with missing papers. I think he lied outright (and there were indications of that at the time) to try to keep me from noticing the daily appointments with the school psych and asking inconvenient questions.
He doesn't know that adults are a LOT smarter than he is.

oh dear. it seems to me ss does have issues that are far more than what's seen on the surface. at this point there really does need to be something done (as you know). i hope all went well with your talk yesterday and hope some sort of resolution (or at least a plan therefor) is close. :-(

His father has stepped in and laid it right out for him. He has several things that he must get done and it's his responsibility to do it. Not his father's, not mine, his.
I didn't have to tell Himself that SS was prevaricating, he had figured that out himself.
It's frustrating, for sure. I don't envy the teachers one bit. Even with attempts to keep us in the dark, we are usually at least one step ahead of him. That may be the only thing that has kept him out of trouble.
Kids are quite, um.... interesting.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
