SD16 has been gone 8 days and we have been threatened to have her dropped on our front porch AGAIN because BM is mad that SD flunked english and gets no credit for that class. She is now 4 1/2 credits behind for graduation in 2009. Looks like she won't make it even with online HS classes and summer school. Today BM emailed DH and informed him that she has been laid off from her part time job. Both of us guess that BM was fired or let go because she wastes time at work, talks on the phone for personal calls and was emailing people all day instead of doing her work.

Here we go again with BM changing her mind about SD16. This is the weekend before midterms. SD16 had asked last Thursday if she was going home for a visit to her BM. DH was out of town all week for work and the kid hadn't spoken to me once while he was gone. I told her that she would have to check with her dad as I knew he would be tired from traveling and probably would see no reason for her to go to BM's when she is going there after midterms a few days later. DH agreed and said it was all settled.

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything here. SD 16 and her mom have cooked up a plan for her to return for 10 days at Christmas break and then move back home permanently. SD16 hates our home, won't even acknowledge that she has improved her grades and life by living with us. BM expects us to keep her for free, pay her child support even though SD16 is living with us.Now BM has arranged for SD16 to return home with her and is going to take SD16 out of regular high school and send her to ALternative Ed which is the high school for the troubled kids.
