I blame this entirley on mum! This is my morning so far

Ok, I have another moment to add to my mum’s embarrsing moments. She actually thought I had school today and didn’t bother to check with me or with the school. If I did have school today. So she dragged me unwillingly from my bed at 6am and drove me to school. I arrived and I knew something was wrong because it was just so empty. I went into school and no one was there. I asked the groundsmen and he told me I didn’t have to come back to school until thurdsay! He took me into the office where I met ms. Fallon [my old pc teacher for grade 10] who was talking to another teacher, and she said that I had won the prize and that I was 2 days early. So I had to walk home which takes 30minutes and that’s when I found out I had forget my keys, so I climbed up the front of the house [kinda difficult when your wearing a skirt and a heavy bag] but I made it up the top [I have done that before, a couple of times- I am expert!]. I am lucky that during the holidays the computer was moved downstairs and that is accesible when your locked out. I blame this entirley on mum. I just felt like saying all that because I need something to pass the time to when mum gets home from tuckshop or dad pops by for lunch.

Btw I get the most holidays in the whole entire house. I finish school 2 weeks before other schools [like my brothers finish because it was private & catholic, I am not Catholic!!] and now I get two days extra because I’m in grade 11 this year :d funny stuff

And its not even 9 o’clock yet~~!!!

Answer #1

Well I would hope your mother would know when you have school or not, I think she needs to be a little bit more involved on what is going on in your life, Why did she not wait for you to check to see if you had school before she drove away?

Answer #2

dont chuck things on kids shoulders especially when they are at school and going through all sorts of stress!! remember they are still kids even if they are 16!! Lol as adults we dont have to do anything we dont want to do, yes some of us go to work but thats out choice, there are lots of ways for adults to get out of working, but not for kids we HAVE to go, we are forced to go, we dont want to go but we do it for out mum and dads…even if they have to wake us up in the mornings and check to see if we have school!! thats what being at school is about, dont go sayin to this girl she should be responsible for going to school, she doesnt want to go to school…and I bet you didnt want to either when you was her age!! Shes being a normal teenage girl…Lazy!

Answer #3

At 16, it’s not your mother’s responsibility to know your school schedule–it’s yours. If you want to stay up past 9, a good start would be being responsible for something as simple as your own school schedule.

Answer #4

I agree with underwaterophelia. you cant blame your mom for all the things that go wrong and you dont take responsibility for. My mom never called the school to see if I went or not each day that would be rediculous. If every mom had to do that all the time than the phones would be ringing of the hook. Usually if school is going to be out on a regular school day the inform the students before that day comes. Sounds to me like you need to grow up a little bit and start paying attention. The only thing I can give you credit for is your mom might should have waited to make sure everything was ok, but if she thought it was a normal school day why would the thought of you not going to school cross her mind. The only reason you are made is because she got you up then you had to walk home.Oh and you said she didnt bother to check with you, then if you did know when she got you up all you had to say is there is no school today. GROW UP.
