DH and I are split but are still living at the same place until something comes through. I know I shouldn't have, but I read SS10's report card while they were out getting dinner. His grades were good, but he had a whole page for the teacher's comments. I had to skip around but it basically said that SS needed to work on his behavior, that he was immature for his age, that he needed to be more organized, that DH needed to help SS get his things ready for school because SS misses so many assignments and homework, that SS needed to stop bringing things to school that will distract him (toys), there was more but this is what I can remember. I kind of laughed to myself. Everything I was trying to get DH to work on spelled out AGAIN by ANOTHER teacher. So they get home (we are trying to be civil and friendly) and DH tells me in front of SS how great SS did on his report card and how proud of him he was. I said "thats great" and just left it at that. No wonder this child acts the way he does. Great? I would have gotten my butt handed to me for the teacher's comments, I surely wouldn't have been praised for that.
