So, after being tardy at least three times a week, marked absent three times, SS18's homeroom (Algebra) teacher FINALLY calls me. She asked if he was sick today and I told her, honestly, I have no idea. I see everyday where he is tardy and I have tried my best to get DH to understand and take responsibility but I'm fighing a losing battle. I told her I was glad she finally called and to please call DH. Maybe this will be what it takes for him to get SS in line.

I text DH and tell him teacher is calling and he tells me that SS said he was throwing up today. Since no one bothered to tell me SS was staying home, I couldn't tell her that. I look at grades (58 average) in Algebra and notice he has a test today so I tell DH, of course he is sick, he has a test today. I sent DH a copy of the grades and told him I will start saving up for summer school.

All I can do is laugh because its so bad and so sickening its all I can do. Nothing else works so why not just laugh.

Did DH say anything when you called SS out on having a test today?

What is your plan if SS doens't graduate? I would make sure to have this figured out and that SS knows now before the time has come and he expects to just stay there forever!

It was on text so of course he didn't respond. I told DH last Friday night that if he thinks I will help support a lazy a** he has another thing coming. I told him that if he is not in school and wants to be a bum he can either pay rent, his truck note and insurance, cell phone, etc. or LEAVE! I am not going to help support a no good lazy a(*! He has a friend that graduated last year, works odd jobs and lives with his grandmother and I told DH, he sees that and thinks hey, thats cool, I can do the same. Well, he is wrong and I told DH that he needs to make sure SS18 knows it.

DH says he will not pay for summer school but he is such a damn disney dad, he will do whatever it takes. I know this. Seen it too many times. Thats why I said I'd start saving now.

Good for you for making it known what you will and won't tolerate from adults. Let's be real, at 18 (at graduation almost 19) he needs to have some basics figured out. I lived on my own at 18. It isn't easy but it can be done... of course I graduated and was paying for community college on my own and worked 2 jobs, but whatever! LOL that is too much work for sooooo many of the COD's!

Shudder... 18yr old SS living with you and failing school.... Going to be needing money for summer school when he is, presumably, 19... 

The only way I would save up money for summer school for a grown ass man who put himself in that spot is if it was going into a savings account as pay for some hard labor around my house.  Do enough and you have money for summer school.  Don't and you can GTFO, get yourself a job and look into getting a GED when you are mature enough to do what most of us did at 17-18yrs old with no problem.
