YOU BETTER GRADUATE
I forgot to blog about this, but you should get a laugh out of it. Last weekend, Tiny City had their prom. Son was going to go with Girlfriend.
Sometime last week, a girl sent Girlfriend a message; this girl dated Son for a couple months in 2016, and still goes to school with Son and Daughter. The girl asked Girlfriend if she could tell Son that he needed to do his work because he had "stopped trying" and she didn't want him to fall behind. I don't know what Girlfriend replied, but the girl then said that in the classes she shared with Son, all he did was play a game on his phone and text Girlfriend. Girlfriend got irritated because she felt like this girl was blaming her for Son not doing his work.
Suddenly, The Ex got involved. I'm assuming this girl also messaged her. The Ex sends Son a message that was completely in CAPS that read:
"[SON] IF U R NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK OR HANDING IT IN LATE YOU WILL NOT B GOING TO PROM... I WILL CALL THE SCHOOL. GET IT DONE BEFORE SCHOOL GETS OUT TODAY... TODAY [SON]... YOU BETTER GRADUATE C AND BETTER"
I have tons of things to say about all of this. Surprise, I know.
1. As all of this went on, Son didn't have any missing or late work. He still doesn't.
2. I think this girl was just trying to start trouble because she is fully aware that Son lives with Husband and I; she knows that The Ex lives 90 miles away and doesn't have primary placement. Why would she tell The Ex about Son's homework? Why wouldn't she tell us, who can and will actually do something about it?
3. The Ex is going to call the school? Remember last year when she asked Daughter about calling the school regarding the basketball tournament, Daughter told her she could, and The Ex retracted her offer to call claiming that nobody there knew who she was and that I was probably written down as the kids' mom instead of her? Yeah. But after he's spent four years at this school and she hasn't talked to anyone about anything, she's going to call them up and start asking about his assignments and grades. HA.
4. The Ex keeps telling Son she wants him to graduate "with Cs or better." He currently has two Bs and five As, and he's made high honor roll twice this year already. Thanks for caring, Mommy.
5. The Ex is suddenly acting like she's such a no-nonsense authority figure when it comes to school. Under her placement: Son was practically failing third grade; the schools in both Hometown and New City sent her letters because the kids were missing too much school; teachers said they constantly had issues permission slips or required forms not being signed and returned; the school didn't have any way to contact her in the event of an emergency because she changed her number and didn't update her contact info. And to top all of that off, four months ago when Husband told Son he couldn't spend the night at his friend's house because he had a missing assignment, Son got angry and told The Ex to take Husband back to court so he could live with her instead. But she's going to make sure he's doing his work? Yeah, okay....
