I had a call from DH this afternoon,as I'm home today so will be here when SS13 gets in from school,DH says SS is not to go out when he gets in from school.DH had TWO calls from the school today - 1 from the head and 1 from a teacher about SS behaviour disrupting the whole class and an incident during lunchtime.

Did I mention that SS13 is sitting detention this afternoon already for something else?Or that DH also had a call from the school last Tues (this was after SS13 spent the weekend with us and DH bought him a £140 watch -belated birthday present,as at the time of his birthday he started a fire in the school so only got smaller presents with the watch being promised at a later date dependent on good behaviour).

DH says the head informed him that the school operates a "3 strikes you're out policy" and SS13 is heading for strike 2. I just listened and said "Well can't say I'm surprised I told you on numerous occasions I don't agree with the way you & BM raise SS so this is a product of that type of parenting."

DH went on to say how he is having a major talk with SS this evening as "this is getting serious", at this point I wanted to burst out laughing down the phone!Are you freaking kidding me -this is serious and when he started a fire in the school a month ago that wasn't serious???Every other talk DH has had with SS13 has fallen on deaf ears so why does he think this talk will yield different results?

DH then proceeds to inform me that SS has a girlfriend from another school (first I'm hearing of this) and BM knows as SS informed DH last night BM offered to drive GF to the big game on Sunday (football cup final everyone is attending -including FIL,MIL both SIL's & family,BM & husband (according to SS) & BM's friend who is her bosses wife who BM had a major fall out with a few years back when this woman accused BM of having an affair with the boss but they now best friends.) As it's our weekend to have SS he wants BM to drive the GF to the game and DH to drive her home,DH said no that it would not be the best time to meet GF she should rather come around for a meal one evening when arranged properly.

I have warned DH repeatedly that he needs to talk to SS about safe sex and implications of unplanned teen pregnancies but of course DH sticks his head in the sand.....wonder how many years before SS is landed with a baby mama or two?!
