Ok, I am at a loss as to what to do anymore. DH and I have tried everything we can think of to get SD14 to understand that she needs to be turning in her work at school and now she has 6 zeros! I think I am just going to stop caring about how she is getting along in school and just leave it alone. It is a battle that I am obviously losing, it causes more stress than I care to add to my life, and DH is not backing me up the I think he should. He is tired having to get on to SD14. He says all we have done lately is get on to her for one thing or another. Well, if she would shape up and stop doing things she knows she shouldn't be doing and quit half-assing everything she does, then maybe that wouldn't be the case. But I feel like she needs to know that she can't just do as she pleases. I'm guessing that she is getting this attitude from her friends and from just being a teenager in general because she has never been allowed to just do as she pleases. I am so sick of always being the one that finds out about the shit she pulls and then when I tell DH he acts like I am finding things to bitch about concerning SD14. If I didn't check her grades, they would never get checked and SD14 would probably fail half her classes. I guess we shall see what happens because I am done with that. Let her keep slacking off and find out what summer school and losing electives because she has to repeat courses is like. I don't give a shit anymore. Am I a bad SM because I care about her academic success so that she can go to college to get the degree she needs to do the job she wants and be successful in her own life? I feel like me caring about that is just looked at as me being a nit-picky bitch. I quit!
