Ss13 to DH, "private school applications are due this friday"
DH instantly gets irritated and says something like "your mom stole our $29 pack if pictures and is fighting with the school about it. Do you really think she's going to come up with $750 a month to pay for half the tuition?"
Dh asks if he's even mentioned this to his mother. He hasn't.
Dh reminds him that his C grades (and his incomplete) wouldn't get him into the school anyway so he's not sure why he's even asking. If he's not going to work hard here, why would we send him to a much more expensive and demanding school.
Dh is irritated to no end after his talk with SS.

Bravo to DH for calling SS
Bravo to DH for calling SS out on the situation. Facts are not good or bad. They are just facts. Fact, your mom is fighting with us about paying half of the $29 school pictures how the hell is she going to afford her half of private school tuition? Fact, your grades suck and you can't even get accepted to private school.
Stick with the facts just as DH addressed them.
IMHO of course.
I think that at 13 the truth
I think that at 13 the truth can be told. I understand the incident of the pictures has nothing to do with SS but in the end it does.
I wish that we had showed our SD the numerous bulshit BM pulled and wrote in emails. And someday I will pull out the file with all of it.
It is time as they enter the teenage years that our children need to be told things esp about finances.
The pictures or lack there of is a piece of a much bigger puzzle. The bigger puzzle is the money spent for the pictures.
SS needs to understand when things like this happen it draws a picture of miss trust with BM. "if I cant trust her with this little financial thing, I cant trust her with a HUGE financial obligation tuition
