to TRY and get him to sort his shit out....
Basically we are 3 months til GCSE''S. To be blunt he aint the brightest kid on the block but he is more than capable at least getting C results if AND only if he would put the effort in.
He has already failed 2 GCSE's last year with cramming for revision at the last minute.
So back to school in September and since then I have played tried everything from Encouragement, Rewards, threat's, we have shouted, I have tried cool calm and collected.
Parent's evening in January he was on target for d,e,f & g's results not one bloody passed.
In his college interview he has told them he is on target for B's - Bloody bloody Kids - Does anyone want an extra teen - He can be quite lovely at times
He is/has supposed to be going to revision sessions after school for the last 2 mths - Not been to a single one. He has had art/graphics already and done little to no prep.
He is hanging around with a gang - who either don't need to work at school - as they are going working in dad's businesses, either expelled, suspended numerous times or plans to go into Infantry - MY own personal nightmare. And between them all are causing a bloody riot in our small town
Mini recap since parents evening with his head there is NO improvement whatsoever
He is my only child and I am a widow so no back up support from anyone else.
I work full time get in at 6.30 in the evening by which time he has buggered off out after telling me has done some work - So difficult to ground him
I have today told him with immediate effect I have left work - That I need to start parenting him properly and STOP leaving him to his own devices. I have NOT REALLY left just took a last minute few day's in the hope it will shock him into realizing he HAS to get on with it
So now there are no wages coming in money will be very tight - he knows what this is like from years ago.
There has been lots of ranting and shouting from him tonight - Am I a really shit mum telling this huge lie.
Am even thinking of getting him to come to the Job Center with me on Monday to sign on as he is off for half term - So he can see 1st hand what one of them places are really like
No I feel totally shit for this huge web of lies I am now spinning
