I just dropped my daughter off @ school and she said she forgot her homework and got all upset. asked me if i would come home and get it, bring it back to the school. In the mean time, her attitude was horrible, the way she was talking to me, making it like it was my fault that she forgot it. She said she wont get "recess" if she doenst have it.I told her that Its her RESPONSIBILITY, not mine!! after that, it will teach her a lesson on talking to me the way she did, i'm NOT taking it to her..

would any other parent do the same?

Good for you....stand your ground. Her forgetting, was her resposibility not yours.

Take her the homework. You can have a talk with her after school.

Not a parent, but sounds about right, forgetting is one thing, attitude is another...how old is she?

I think you're doing the right thing, for every action there is a consequence or a reward. She forgot her homework not you, so guess it wont be any recess for her, and make sure to speak with her regarding her "attitude" if not nipped in the bud attitudes do have a way of getting worse.

thanks, i will..in fact i bet u she'll have an attitude when she gets home, cause i didnt drop it off..then she'll be grounded if she does..i know my daughter

I remember those days well (dont pity you right now, they can get ugly) but stop it and dont accept attitude, for it becomes disrespect real easily.

true.. she wont pull that crap with me..shes at that age

I don't know sexy I had this conversation with some friends of mine. The way kids talk now a days would have been a death sentence to us when we were that age. I have several friends that are teachers and some of the stories they tell me is just crazy. No good advice but it sounds like your doing the right thing to me.

yup, but Im confident you wont allow it to go to any extreme.

It is kinda funny, we did the same to our parents try to get away with stuff. At least some of us did. My mother had us trained when we were younger, she mastered a look, that even if we were playing outside we'd freeze, stop in the middle of whatever we were doing and either stood next to her or sat down right away.

Today I see it as hilarious because as a young mom, I too mastered that look and my daughter is 22 now. lol The look still works

yeh i remember my mom telling me a few yrs ago.."Pay back time"!!! cause of the crap we kids put her and dad thru and trust me, it wasnt good..all three of us were NOT angels..lmao!!

oh.. I used to make the mistake of taking the kids homework or books or swimming clothes in to the school when they would forget them at home. I finally got tired of it and stopped. I told them at the door from then on..... Make sure you have everything you need because I WILL NOT bring it to you!...
They used to try and get me to leave work to bring them stuff. I was like uhm. Nope!

My son did this to me one time and only one time. I went ahead and took his homework to him BUT I grounded him from things he liked for a week. He wasn't allowed to get on the computer or his X-box.
I think taking his homework was a little bit more important then letting his grades go down. Trust me, when he got home he got the lecture and the grounding.
Take the homework to your child and deal with your child when they get home!!

No, I wouldn't. That's childish. Teach her that problems are communicated through. Teach her that she's your child and isn't allowed to talk to you that way. If you act like her, then you are placing yourself on her level and making yourself her equal. Take her the darn homework and talk to her about her behavior. Maybe there is a reason that you aren't aware of, which made her treat you so rudely.

I'd take her the work after recess...........then she has the punishment from the school for the infraction and she hopefully learns you will not alwyas completely bail her out. talk to her nad come to an agreement onthe punishment for her behaviour with you.

I'm not a parent, but i think a parent have to set precedence, so their children know what would happen if they decide to do such a thing next time.
I think if it happens once, it will happen several other times.

well, i used to be a parent, but that was then and this is now.

it says in your bio, you have wonderful kids. so this must be a hot flash your daughter is having about her homework, and putting the blame on u.

ll year olds start practising how to be a "biach" from an early age on. wait til she gets to be 17, and let us know how she is doing. that is if we can wait that long....

One missed assignment is not going to affect their grade in any way. The assignment needs to be left home, until the next school day when the child can take it herself (and get a reduction in grade for that assignment as she turned it in late)

update on what happend with her and homework..

turns out she didnt need it after all but she apologised to me for her behavior..i was proud of her for that
