We're not allowed to talk about it in our house. DD has already warned us that she's "done very badly". Her GCSEs weren't stellar and I was rather hoping she'd have got her act together in terms of the revision required for the ASs, but she didn't appear to. There's nothing I can do about it - she's old enough to take responsibility herself. I am worried about how to react when she gives me the news on Thursday, though, but I suspect whatever reaction I give will be "wrong". 
If I get cross, it won't help. If the results are poor and disappointing then I can hardly say: "Oh, 2Cs and 2Ds. Well done, DD, that's fabulous". Because it won't be. I WANT to say: "Right, well done, we did notice that you tried to revise a little harder than you did with the GCSEs. However, the A2s will be your final chance to prove yourself so you really have to give it your all over the coming months if you want to pursue your university dreams and no, you can't stay at home, flop around the house then retake them at my expense next year".
As I say, whatever I say will be wrong and we will have tears, denial, blame, guilt, recriminations galore!
