I drive her and dd3 (just started in year 7) to school each day (no bus, we are rural). It takes roughly 10-20 mins depending on traffic. dd1(17) flunked her ASs and is repeating year 12. She's obsessed with her appearance, and although I respect that (she's had a few spots, she is feeling unconfident generally) and I've spent time taking her to the docs, giving her some money for new clothes, listeing to her. She has started making us late for school. Dd3 is keen to do well, very organised, currently struggling with horrible new braces but cheerful and positive. Its hard to stay sympathetic with dd1 when she stomps and screams as we are about to leave that she needs a particularly hoodie and can't find it. Today I had enough. I gave her three warnings. She didn't appear so I drove dd3 to school and went to work.
