Ugh! SD15 can drive me nuts sometimes. Last night she asked if she could stay after school the following day (today Wednesday) I told her yeah no problem.

Her and a friend stay at the same club. When they first started going to the club we were unable to pick up SD15. Friends mom gave SD15 a ride home. Our house is on the way to their house. Now that we are able to pick up SD15 she wants us to give her friend a ride to her house. I don't have a problem taking her friend to her house but I do NOT want to be giving this friend a ride to her house all the time because the friend lives OUT OF THE WAY! I have to get on the freeway to give this friend a ride home.

Neither does this friend have to be coming over to our house to get picked up from her mom. There is no telling what time this friend of hers would finally get picked up.

Anyways, SD15 calls me today to let me know that her friend is not staying afterschool. Okay....SD15 wants me to pick her up. NO! I told SD15 that she needed to go to the club regardless if her friend was going or not! I wasn't home or near the house to rush over to her school to pick her up just because she didn't want to stay because her friend isn't staying. She didn't want to go because she was going to be by herself....Uhm, SD15 you will be surrounded by other students, so no, you will not be by yourself! I ended up telling her to go to the library or just wait at the front of the school.

Not even 5 minutes later she calls me from the friendthatisnolongerstayingafterschool cell phone, telling me that this friend can now stay afterschool. I told her that she did not need to call me and let me know. I don't care. SD15 insisted that she didn't want me to get mad when I picked her up and her friend wasn't going to be there. I told her that I was not going to get mad actually all the better that I wouldn't have to give her friend a ride. I told her that I would give her friend a ride today and next time she stays at this club I would only be picking her up because obviously giving her friend rides home is causing unneccessary problems.

Then comes the famous "I don't want to stay anymore!" Ugh! So I just hung up on her!

It is so ridiculous of me to participate in this pointless conversation that turns into an argument. SD15 should have just called and said "Hey, just letting you know that my friend is not staying afterschool so you wont have to give her a ride" I SHOULD have said "Okay no problem see you at 3:30" SD15 SHOULD have then said "okay see you then!" It is that simple!

Which now leads me to say that SD15 is such a damn follower!!! A few weeks ago she asked to get signed up for dance classes. Her best friend goes to the same dance center. SO stupidly takes her signs her up for 3 classes a week which is $132 a month. Now SD15 doesn't want to go anymore because all the other girls are too advanced and the other classes she is going to be with the little girls. They called us from the center letting us know that SO owes $132 for the month of Nov when SD15 got signed up. SD15 only did one class and half of another class. The REAL reason that SD15 joined dance is because she was hoping to get to join dance fusion at her best friends high school that she is hoping SO will give in to her and transfer her to the same school. SO told her no she is to stay at her school. After she was told no she lost interest in dance. Go figure....

Just venting! But SD15 was driving me nuts and she was wasting my time and my minutes!
