"Nice Moms." I'm not part of the club.

My son, my firstborn, my thirteen year old, who is currently waffling back and forth between being the sweet boy he's always been and a complete and total ASS, called me this morning to bring something to the school that he forgot

*fist bump*

I'm not a nice mum either. My daughter is already asking me - at eight mind you, why am I so strict. Ah well.

Amen, Sister! I'm not part of that Nice Mom Club, either. I agree with you 100%, and I have always charged for extra stuff I have to do after him, too. I remember a few times I marched bra-less into the school. *nods* And oh, gosh, yeah! That charm! HAHAHA! *rolls eyes* Rotten things! I hated middle school. It does something to them. I thought high school was going to be my nightmare, but it wasn't. Middle school. You just have to pray, and stick to your guns, Momma!

Oh man. He's a charmer. Is even trying to use said charm on you.

The next seven years are going to be interesting. To say the least XD

People who have to deal with middle schoolers get extra stars in their crowns, imho. My husband and I used to lead high school retreats (we pretty much stick to college age now), but middle school? Never! The (I think) two confirmation classes I have taught were nightmares. Have a LARGE glass of wine and toast yourself. You deserve it! :)

Having been accused of being a 'militant parent' because I expect things like... decent and respectful behaviour, homework and reading done every night, age appropriate video games - I feel ya. (Seriously, Scott might be the only 7th grader not allowed to play Grand Theft Auto.... there might have been tears when that decree was laid down)

Often I wonder about all these kids being raised by 'friends' rather than by 'parents'. Hopefully they'll ask Dr. Salmon if he wants fries with his burger.
