Report Card & PT Conference Denial

Sorry but I just need to vent a little! After receiving report cards yesterday for the first quarter, I feel like banging my head against the wall… Nothing ever changes! OSS seems to be doing just fine in school. YSS, on the other hand, got a report card that epitomizes everything I have said about him for the last four years and DH and BM still refuse to wrap their minds around it all.

Am I expecting too much?

Can I please receive some insight on what you all think are age appropriate responsibilities around the house for a 6 and 9 year old? For the past couple years, we’ve got them in a place that when they wake up, they will make their beds (not to adult standards, but it’s the effort that matters to me), turn their night lights off, and get dressed without being asked. But beyond that, these two would lay in bed in front of any screen or monitor available to them without even opening their curtains to the light of day if we allowed them.
