don't post angry. too late. i guess if this is going to be an accurate reflection of his senior year, it's the good, the bad and the ugly. today was definitely two out of three. but someday i suppose we'll all look back on this and laugh. or not. seriously entertaining the idea of a 'gap' year right now. no committment, no sense of consequences, no remorse - except for being caught. the pattern he established freshman year has reared its ugly head each and every year since - and we just had a major sighting. what's the pattern? basically 'dropping' classes he's not that into. unfortunately, it always means a mad scramble to recover, most of the time not that well. guess what though, not ponying up college cash for this type of performance. so he either pulls it together, or he figures out plan b. which definitely would not include a college on a coast. maybe not college at all.
many bad words were said in my mind. many many bad words. many many times over. really don't feel like talking to him. so i'm not.

What's going on? I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. Why do these kids put us through this? Do we care too much? Sarah Susanin and I were just talking about what a HUGE shift in the paradigm there has been between our generation and our parents. In other sociological paradigm shifts it takes at least two generations to see such a radical change in behavior. I blame technology. If you need a sounding board by all means call. I have learned that sometimes (moms especially) just need a set of ears that don't give opinions back :) megan
Are you talking to him yet? It's been a couple weeks now.
