To not have let him have the day off?

DS is 15, he finishes school on Friday. This morning, me and DH kept telling him to hurry up as he was going to be late but he kept shouting that he was getting dressed and told us not to go in his room. This went on for about half an hour, until DH told me he didn't believe he was getting dressed as it wouldn't have taken him that long, DH then went into his room and DS was still in bed on facetime. DS told him to go away and that he has ‘no respect’ for going into his room when he was told not too.

When DH went to work, DS came downstairs and told me he couldn't be bothered to go to school and that he'd be late anyway and asked me to tell the school he's unwell. I said no and told him to get dressed or id take his devices off of him, he did get dressed and I took him to school but he kept complaining about how it was unfair and asked why I was forcing him to go and that he was going to get into trouble for being late.

WIBU for sending him?

What are your plans for the summer holidays? I assume he is in Y10 (if in England), what is he looking at grade wise for GCSEs?

Check out what happens on Tuesdays in particular I think. However, going to school or work isn't optional even if you would prefer to spend the day in bed. That's a life lesson.
