The decision is made

[ACJ]

H is back in the 'spew and flee' mode. No great surprise there really.

Today I got yet another call from school from yet another subject teacher telling me that S15 was still behind with his coursework. He has officially left school for goodness sake and only has to go in for exams and NOW they tell me this!

I was busy and had just arrived at an appointment so I just sent H a text saying I had received this call and would he please call me this evening.

When I got home from work I called S15 myself to find out what was going on. He was annoyed b/c his teacher had also spoken to him and he had received a call from his dad asking what was going on. He wanted to know why I was ringing as well. I said I was just carrying out the promise I made to his teacher. He asked why I had got H involved b/c now he was worried as well. Well duh you are living with him now so he needs to know! He backed down when I said that.

As H had already spoken to S15 I didn't expect him to call. I thought he would do his usual and just take his talk with S15 as fulfilling his parental responsibilities. However I misjudged him and he did phone. At first he asked if D12 was here and I said no she had gone swimming. He then said he had spoken to S15, he was going to the extra lesson tomorrow and he had until after the half term break (next week) to hand in the final version. I said ok that is fair enough. He hung up.

I will have to assume that his L has received the fax from mine and that this has been communicated to H as he made no reference to it. Looks like it's back to having to be a mind reader for a while.

Meanwhile back in the adult world I am ploughing on with my own course work!
