Financials set to be sorted.

[ACJ]

Well it seems S15 was 'pulling the wool over my eyes' again in relation to GFs grandma dying. She has died but 3 days ago. He led me to believe she had died today. When I tackled him about this he asked me why I thought he had been so moody all weekend. I pointed out he hadn't been home for 24 hours and also that he is ALWAYS moody!

I was even more angry that school had not been in touch regarding his no-show AGAIN Eventually I phoned them to tell them yet again how unhappy I am with the way they are dealing with this issue. I threatend to send a letter to the governors. Isn't it amazing how quickly things happen when you do that

The end result was the the truancy officer finally phoned to say they will be doing a home visit on Wednesday morning at 9.30am. I asked how I was supposed to make sure S15 is there given that I am normally nagging him to go to school for 8.55am. They said to tell him that he can have a day off! (That's got to be reverse psychology surely?). They said if he did turn up to school prior to this time they would bring him with them.

So I have done my parental responsibility bit and let H know that this meeting is taking place and that he is welcome to attend if he wishes. I told him it was imperative that S15 knows nothing of this meeting in advance so as not to jeopardise it's effect. It's up to him whether he decides that this is an important enough issue that he needs to be present.
