[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think her behavior was odd? You literally bullied her and her dad physically restrained her and forced her to attend the conference. And for what? Your poor DD. There is no need to go to conferences in HS. The last time I went to HS for academics was in freshman year to the HS Open House by myself. The last conference I attended with my DC was in 6th grade, in middle school (it was online during COVID). You're infantilizing your DD and now have managed to embarrass her in front of her teachers. I'm sad for your DD. [/quote]

It sounds like the DD infantilized herself. She’s a teen. They can do that. But if the mom wants her to go to the school conference, as recommended by the school, the DD should go. [/quote]

No. What planet are you on? DD decided no and her mother proceeded to bully her into the car with manipulation and threats, then called her father, who physically forced her in. In HS, only the ones whose parents have no idea what is going on go to the conferences. I don't go to conferences and don't know any of my DCs parents who do. I know what my teens' grades are and how they're doing, because I talk to them and they show me their grades and assignments. We talk about schoolwork, tests, projects. I don't need to go and ask teachers. Not sure how old you are or what age your kids are, but conferences are really only meaningful in elementary school as there are no grades and if you want to know how your child is doing, it's useful to go and talk to the teachers.

My teen decided no? Um, nope. I decided yes. [/quote]

Well, good luck with your power trips and chasing your teens across parking lots to forcefully drag them somewhere. Outstanding parenting. I'm really glad I don't know people like you in real life. [/quote]
