One of my pet peeves I have as a mother is for someone to talk to me about my child's behavior, hence one of our house rules is that : if you don't do it in front of mommy don't do it at all.
Can't be both and yesterday I arrived home from my trip ready to post to my live story (His Substitute Wife... My Sister) and found out I had to go to parent/teacher conference earlier than expected.
Each child had received a glowing GPA from last card marking (all above 3.5), but the comments from each teacher for my oldest daughter bothered me so I said, phuck it, I'll go.
Now Mag is just absolutely 'bout the smartest thing since Einstein in my book. She's always
thinking quietly and she soaks up things like a sponge.
And her teachers agreed on it as well.
But her attitude and socializing is causing havoc with the teachers. One was even reluctant to tell me because she felt that Maggie could easily be valedictorian if it wasn't for that.
I was livid. I had to sit through an hour and a half of others telling me that my daughter was a snobbish, punk bytch that couldn't keep her butt in her seat because socializing was so much important than learning.
A couple of years ago my son had a socializing problem and this little shyte had the nerve to make fun of her brother saying to him, "Zech that's pretty stupid to let your friends get you in trouble."
Now this bytch was making my life miserable with the same crap. I'm glad she wasn't there because I would have slapped her to first grade (she's currently in sixth.)
Her GPA had dropped from a 3.6 to a 3.1! You might say that's still good, but it dropped not because she was stupid in books. She was stupid for following friends and trying to stupe to their 2.6 GPA. (That's the highest GPA of all the friends she hangs around with, which i found from the homeroom teacher.).
When i got home, I had my son remove her TV and I took her cell phone and then I not only showed her a down south barn yard party (as my father used to call it) I had her do the same thing I did to my son.
I may sound cruel and I feel awful that I have to punish her so much, but when she had no real explaination as to why she allowed her friends to influence her education.
Now if she had really said being popular and having these kinds of friends was great for her self esteem, we probably would have had a long talk about it all, but this chit couldn't come up with one excuse as to why she blatantly disobeyed the teachers, spoke slang outlandishly during a oratory just to get giggles out of the popular crowd, and didn't turn in her weekly assignments or brought her books home from school.
She's mad at me now, but I know in the long run, she'll thank me for my perserverance in making sure she keeps a GPA that can get her to her goals in life.
I hope and pray it does because I'm tired.

wow.. i can admit.. i once wanted 2 be like my friends in high skool so i 'dummied' myself down to their level. i was #5 in the class and they were making d's & f's, not caring about what they wanted in the future.. i didnt want them 2 think i was this nerd so i stopped studyin, payin attention in class.. which is soo stupid to jeopardize my good grades like that. your gurl will learn soon that after graduation her friends might not be around. thank the lord i had a mama like you who brought me back 2 reality and beat my ass for acting stupid and i graduated at #5.. as for my friends.. they still dont give a damn bout their lives.. she betta recognize!!
Well being a mother is hard, being a single mother is almost impossible, but trust me it can be done and done right. Every parnet goes through those momements when they think their children "hate" them. Doing what is best for your child comes first how she feels now will not be how she feels when she is accecpted to the college she wants to go to because of her GPA. Girl just pray on the situation and know you are a good parnet and leave the rest up to GOD.
As a teacher in training, I feel you did the right thing in taking away her "privilege amenities" until she cleans up her act. It's nice when the parents and teachers are on the same side as long as it's for the benefit of the student.
But homeroom teacher was all kinds of wrong - and illegal - for discussing other students' GPA with you.
i think the teacher wanted to stress the "kind" of friends she had, and they never told me exactly who's GPA is whom and I was given the highest GPA out of all her friends.
She was really depressed this weekend because of her loss of communication with her friends and just going through withdrawel and all, but i just know it's going to pay off.
Hi Sylvia,
Your daughter is very special and blessed to have a mom like you. Continue to parent her with love and discipline and she will develop into a beautiful young woman.
Kids! They go through stuff. be glad she has a 3.0+. More stuff is ahead, trust. Punish, pray and don't put so much pressure on yourself.

"my daughter was a snobbish, punk bytch"
"Now this bytch was making my life miserable "
... And you are a mother.. SERIOUSLY?
I am amazed at the PRAISE you get when you have just called your own a child a 'Bytch' repeatedly in a public forum. Disgusting.
Good for you for trying to keep you childs GPA up, but shame on you for ever thinking it is okay to refer to your child as a "BYTCH"
