I am having an “I’m a rubbish parent moment”….
My ten year old came up to me this morning to ask my advice:-
“Mum, I need your advice” he said solemnly, “what age would you recommend that I start smoking?”.
THEN even more worryingly he said it was so that he could plan when to ask me to pay him to stop.
Apart from that, I only had one important job this morning and that was to do as my teenage son asked – go on to the intranet and get his AS level results and then sum them all up by texting him a number from 1 to 10. Ten being bloody amazing and One being completely shit. “OK” I told him, “not a problem”…. but in reality I couldn’t even manage that simple task because each subject seemed to be divided up into three different sections each with different grades. Very confusing and it was a relief to report that even my poor son had to make some calls before he knew if he’d got an A or a B for Biology. WHY does it all have to be so complicated?
Anyway, it turns out that he’s got two A’s and 2 B’s.
VG.
He has now taken full advantage of his success and requested a teeny weeny gathering to celebrate with no more than probably 50? Ha ha ha ha….shit.
