I just got off the phone with a mom who was asking my advice regarding her daughter’s grades. I’m not a professional, or an expert on anything regarding being a parent, but my kids are straight A students and have NEVER EVER been in trouble at school. They’ve never even had detention, except one of them for chewing gum and she cried about it. Of course they have pushed the limits at home and have done some stupid stuff, but NEVER at school.
My kids know I don’t take any shit when it comes to school—(or talking back, or whining, or acting spoiled, or being selfish, or being heartless) but mostly school. I’m the nazi bitch from hell when it comes to school.
So the mom says “Should I let her attend the end of the year school dance?”
Her daughter has D’s and F’s and is always in trouble at school.
HELL NO!
In our public school here, you wouldn’t even be allowed to attend the school dance with those kinds of grades, so I asked the mom about it…
She said that because her daughter attends a private prestigious school she would be allowed to attend the dance, regardless of her grades.
??
So if you put your child in a private school they don’t have to follow the rules? They can slip by with bad grades and act like spoiled little brats in class AND still attend school functions? What kind of bullshit is that?
That’s what’s wrong with society—people make excuses for their children’s behavior and the children grow up to think that they can do no wrong.
Makes me want to throw- up.
Phew! I'm glad I got that off my chest...

I am easily irked by things also, I call it getting on my soapbox. I am glad you got that off your chest too. You might have exploded otherwise.
*clap, clap, clap* Amen, sistah!
Wow, when I saw the title I thought I was in for a novel sized post!
Do you KNOW this mom? I mean, why would she call you? And is she that much of an idiot that she had to call you to ask THAT question?
Justine :o )
That is irritating. That child will learn nothing if she is allowed to go.
They have to learn consequences sometime. Rather a dance now then something bigger or worse later!
Too many are given rewards for bad behavior.
agreed agreed agreed. love it! hail to the nazi school moms :)
Children who don't do their work or misbehave must have consequences to their actions.
Some parents just don't get it. You rock, Mariah.
*cheers and agrees whole-heartedly*
Mariah ... don't you know all these kids are 'entitled' to anything they want? Sheesh girl ... it's the 21st century ... they don't need good grades ... everything's just going to be GIVEN to them. He he he ... should she go to the school dance ... HAH. I probably would have said "Lady ... take responsibility for your kids!" Then I would have gone on a rant about socialism and fascism and all kinds of goofy right wing stuff about kids these days.
That probably wouldn't have been very politically correct though. And I say to that ... eff it!
bright blessings!!
There would be no chance in hell that my kids would attend that dance with those grades. Ever. And they already know that answer so they wouldn't even have to waste their time asking.
You keep telling kids how great they are no matter what they do, what's the motivation to do anything right?
Which is basically exactly what you wrote here.
Oh my kids would soooooo go to that dance if they had D's & F's on their report card. I would make the dance a priority because I would make them work behind the punch bowl serving drinks to all of their friends. Go Nazi mom's, Go!!!!
Oh hell no. I can't believe it would even be a question. My kids come home with anything more than a green in conduct and they are sent to their rooms, to only come out for dinner. No TV, no computer, no Wii, etc for at least a week. Hard to do it, but have to do it.
My middle had her heart ripped out when she had to call her friend and tell her she was grounded and couldn't spend the night after all b/c of her conduct at school. She has yet to act up at school again though. Boo yah.
She asked you the question because she already knew the right answer, but needed someone brave enough to tell her out loud.
Good for you.
You think you are a Nazi bitch when it comes to school? We need to meet. I tell my kids, "The decisions you make today determines HOW you live tomorrow!"
Right on!
That irks me too! Someone hit that lady with the dumb stick.
She is the PARENT, or she's supposed to be. Shouldn't SHE set the standards/rules and not the school? So friggin' what if the school says she can go...obviously she hasn't put in the work to get rewarded.
Plain & simple.
BTW - LOVE the new banner! I assume the "stick" kids are Chris's.
THere is one thing I never do and that is act like my children are angels when they are acting like devils. If the grades are bad.. why should she let her go to the dance. That is like getting a reward for a job done bad.. NOT SMART!
My favorite saying to my daughter was, "You are what you want to be". I had no patience for laziness in school. She ended up graduating with honors. If the parent makes learning a priority, the kids will too.
No way in hell would I let my kid go to the school dance with those grades. (Hugs)Indigo
AMEN!
Seriously, what is wrong with parents these days. It's called a punishment...
Congrats on the Hot Mama award. I'm just checking out the winners...
If only she saw the light and stuck to it. Her kid would be in for a rude awakening. So, if her kid mashes up her car, because she was drinking and driving, does she get another car?
There are consequences for the actions...not rewards.
I was like your kids growing up when it comes to school. I didn't have problems with it. But then when we worked at the group homes, Ds were often seen as good grades? What??? I just could not understand that, but couldn't stress enough to the kids how important it was to get good grades. And I mean, these are kids who may not have the opportunities other kids have, so grades may be their way out, but they just see school as more of a hassle than anything. It's so sad.
I definitely would not let my own kids go to school functions with grades like that, no matter if the school allowed it or not. It'd be incentive to get their grades up, too.
Wow. That's kind of terrible. I don't really get why that is even a question.
Ahmen!!!
Being a mean momis good!! In fact it's should be a required class before you have a baby. Mean Mom 101.
