DD arrived home at 11am today after GCSE History and has been slobbing around ever since even though she has a Biology GCSE on Friday and four more exams next week and keeps telling me she doesn't know anything! I didn't say anything until half an hour ago and then I just lost it when she was lying on the sofa saying she didn't want to do any revision because it's 'boring'. I said some pretty awful things, told her she is a lazy cow and that she'll look like an idiot when all of her friends who are predicted lower grades get better results than her because they've actually done some work, that everyone will be laughing at her behind her back and that her options will be severely narrowed down if she doesn't do well in the subjects she wants to do at A level. Bloody hell...I knew what I said was terrible, but writing it down makes me realise how absolutely vile I have been. I also said that I'm not willing to pay the huge cost of the train fare to the sixth form at a super selective grammar (she's at a comprehensive at the moment) if she can't be bothered to do any work for these exams as she'll probably be booted out of the grammar after a few weeks if that's her work ethic. I just feel awful now, although she didn't seem that bothered and said that she couldn't care less about her results and then she called me a cunt and said she hates me. She has been pretty crap about revision the whole way through the revision period and I spoke to the head of Year 11 who said that she would speak to her...that consisted of her asking DD if all was OK and when DD said yes, that was the end of the conversation! All of DD's friends parents say that their DCs are working really hard, which just makes me panic even more!
