I got DH to tell SheSloth she could not go to RenFest on Saturday! She isn't happy about it, but I don't care!

DH and I about had it out! I told him he was avoiding the issue because he didn't want to tell her she couldn't go. He tried to argue that she has been trying, and that she was one point away from A/B honor roll. I told him, "First of all, about the report card! You missed the incomplete! Why? Because she didn't turn in her project until the very last second, and the teacher had to put the grade in later! She barely passed English! As for her trying, that is why she is currently failing two classes, and still had major attitude with you just the other night, even when I kept saying she shouldn't talk to like that!" He kept trying to plead her case. I finally said, "Fine! Then, if you can't tell her she can't go, then WE aren't going! As much as I want to go, I won't go if you insist on allowing her to go...while she is still grounded and still doing the same old crap!"

By the time I got home from the gym, he told SheSloth she had to go to BM's for the weekend and could not go to RenFest! He said, "You don't know how hard that was!" Really? I've raised two kids...their whole lives! Not just every other weekend most of their lives...their whole lives! I've had to cancel plenty of activities because one of them was grounded, and I didn't have the other bio to leave them with. Yeah, it was hard, especially when I had to tell one kid that no one was going because the other got in trouble! Don't tell me about hard! Parenting isn't easy!
