[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to gauge my standards here. My kids 12, 13 and 14 walked in today. We live @½ a mile from school (Deal). I wahm and had no other reason to be driving in except to take them. My DS called from a coffee shop saying "mom, our shoes and pants are wet, please come pick us up!!!" This after I told him to wear boots and he refused and he fought me about putting a plastic bag over his books in his back pack and my DD grumbled that her raincoat was "too BIG". When he called from a coffee shop, I told him no--he kept persisting and I finally told him I was hanging up and did. He called back and I told him Truant Officers would pick him up if he didn't get his butt into school and then hung up. The back drop of all this is him arguing with every measure I told him to take to stay dry. They left at 7:45 the whole walk usually takes 20 minutes--they had called me on their little iPhones at 8:15. Was I too harsh?[/quote]
