Its Called ... therapy. q22

LOVE IT!!! q15

I needed that today....... Going in for a teacher's conference later. Brianna has a detention.....AGAIN.

#19 hehehe

I have seen some of these before but they so crack me up....snorked coffee up my nose..

well MA at least she didn't get detention for farting in class

my brother on facebook posted a copy of his friends kids detention slip for farting q27

I got 8 and 9 down

gonna give 10 a try...seeing as I am apparently on a diet, not sure how the hell that happened I don't diet dangit....

Detention for Farting??? Of course not! Girls do NOT fart, they FLUFF.

Previously, it was based on homework violations.....After three pink slips over not turning work in, the student gets detention. She's had three detentions.......and we've grounded her as well......partly because she also LIES to us about her work. q23

THIS time it was about passing notes in class (not her first episode) AND her attitude. When the teacher asked for to hand over the note, Brianna tossed it on the teacher's desk, and did the "eye rolling" thing! (Stupid girl).

At home it's a constant back talk or argument....I swear. q10

After awhile, grounding her stops meaning much.

We actually had an interesting discussion with her teacher who gave the detention because it included talking about the lying.

Find that one thing she covets, it may seem awfully cruel to remove it from her or her from it but it may work....as well as who she is hanging out with. The threat of homeschooling may work as well. There are so many regulations in some states she'd have to toe the line...maybe? Lots of love and support to you dear freind

The home school threat wouldn't work with her......... There are times when she tells us she WANTS it.......usually first thing on Monday mornings. haha.

Taking away the computer is a biggie, and that's one of the items that's done when she's grounded.

yep you must have a big one to use.....with our oldest there was nothing his attitude went from bad to well you all know...our younger one it is hunting ...he loses hunting if he doesn't tow the line.....we do not expect perfection but best effort and a good attitude are appreciated.....

yeah its the teen thing we have had some rows around here already over homework and such....hang in the re you can beat her at this just gotta remember what it was like and fool them...lol
