Liza just called me -- she said "momma I was right, our deadline for that project isn't for a few more weeks the other class has different deadlines than us. I was right momma"
yup...trust in the kid.... she knows her deadlines.
I had a similar confirmation of dd's abilities this afternoon. She calls to tell me she's home safe. I'd gotten an email a few days ago (at work) about the activities of tonight's GS meeting. I know the leader emails the girls directly too, but dd doesn't use her email a whole lot, so I usually check in with dd about it.

No, I have not declared such parents as "worthless" -- I've said the opposite and you know it.

Yes to everything you said, plus I would have my child assessed for learning disabilities.

Eventually you would run out of vacation time. And then what would you do - quit your job?
