Most of you have been following along as I have been playing single Dad, complete with all the problems that come with.
The biggest being the Lad’s grades.
Until now.
For the first time in his educational career (or since the 6th grade), he has brought home the greatest report ever! We are going to ignore the part about him falling his first semester of English for right now (he knows he fucked that up and will be finding out options later in the week) since the rest of his grades were pretty decent.
Math = B- (Up from a C) Photography – C (No change, but I’d be bored too only getting to watch movies). Health = B (up from a D!) Science = B (no change) PE = Doesn’t count.
I mentioned he knew he fucked up, right? So much that he actually hid his report card from me until he could get a current progress report from his English teacher to show that he is, in fact, getting a B in that class as well! And he finally has assignments in Photography, so I expect that grade to come up as well.
Took him long enough, but I think he has finally figured it out. Now to find the person responsible for providing that final kick in the pants and buy them a beer!
