@katrina2017 Yeah there was plenty of communication. This year was like watching a car crash in slow motion.

@katrina2017 It's no surprise. She has this habit of sabotaging herself and blaming it on everyone and everything. She started the year with two study halls. About half way through the year they switched up classes because she was failing and couldn't get along with her teachers or peers. Three...

@christtoulese I can see how it may appear that way by reading through this thread but we are just discussing one facet of a much larger and complex relationship. She is incredibly intelligent, and crafty, and she's had to grow up faster than she should have. But her go-to pattern that made me...

@christtoulese It's a tricky situation with mine because she is emotionally intelligent, stubborn, angry, and just does not give a fuuuuukkkk... she's also one of the most gifted narcissists I know. It eventually gets to a point where I simply have to accept this is who she is and these are...

@christtoulese Basically the time , effort, and energy that it would take to police a person who is intent on being deceiving and avoidant is just not feasible. The issue there would be 1. Knowing what she needs to be studying because there will always be a song and dance about how everything...

@christtoulese And parents alone

@christtoulese We could but the work is not the issue, she lies about what is assigned and tells me the work is done. I don't find out until weeks and months down the line that she's been lying. I would literally need to be in daily communication with her teachers to stay on top of her the way...

@bletherer Sounds like a nice option. I am a loan parent with a full time job and I'm also in college myself. I wish I had the time and space.

@sparrowfeet That's a fantastic idea! I'd pay for a stunt double RN

@sparrowfeet Haha - this is why I have no business helping my kid with her homework!

@bogdan I appreciate this comment because I've definitely been hunched over the couch, hiking up my pants, and screaming at the top of my lungs 🤣🤣 She's been in therapy all year and plans to join marching band in the fall. She really wants to get a job so that would make a great carrot. Thanks!

@soberarthur She way too rebellious for boarding school, she'd be kicked out in a heartbeat.... probably on purpose.

@rednecklutheran157 I believe this may be the way...

@dparise That's a great suggestion, thank you

@dparise She wants to go to summer school, but she only wants to do it because she cannot bare the thought of being in HS for a minute longer than she has too. To me summer school is pointless because if she couldn't handle freshman year with two study halls, how is she going to handle a full...

@leafis I like the idea of summer school because I want to give her the chance to succeed, but check this out... She failed English by 1% (final grade 59%) Throughout the entire year she blew off this little online activity. It was super simple, you log in for 20 minutes...easy 'A' and it...

@cujones Big facts 💯

@faith20175 Your story sounds very similar. She seems intent on learning the hard way in spite of all my own experiences. It's like she doesn't listen until she's being bounced off rock bottom.

@faith20175 Sounds like we're in the same boat. There is a lot of bullying and the way she chooses to conduct herself only multiples those issues. She has a therapist and special permissions at school for her emotional state. I try to keep her from allowing these things to be excuses. I try to...

My daughter ended the year with 4 out of 6.5 required credits. She failed English and Science (two core classes). She has two options: 1 Go to summer school (for English only, science is not available). Load up on classes which could give her the opportunity to get caught up to her class by...
