I bought DS2 (14) his school uniform last week & left the shirts & trousers in his room so he could try on for size.
I asked him last Thursday to try them on & let me know as we were going away Friday. He didn't. I asked him again last night when we returned & he didn't. I told him I'm back at work weds & won't have time to swap if nothing fits. I got up early today & went to the dentist, he was out when I got back, all the uniform still in packets.
I opened the shirts, thought they looked ok size wise, so I washed & ironed them & hung them up. I left the trousers as they looked a bit big.
He just got in & the shirts are too long. I said tough, I'm not wasting anymore of my time running round after you, you'll wear them & make the best of it. He had a major tantrum & said he won't go to school. I said fine, don't, its your future I'm past caring. He then said I'm a shit mum & will be arrested for being neglectful. I replied that no one ever went to prison for buying the wrong size school shirt.
Just to add, he does this every year, never puts any effort into anything. Nobody buys my clothes & runs round after me. He wants more privileges & independence as he's 15 in 3 weeks, but then he behaves like this.

To think I'm not a neglectful mother?
