When there are forms to be filled, she will write my name in full and date.

If it is for excursion, she will even delete 'not allow' as well...then she will tell me, just sign your name will do.' Asked her, have I agreed to let you go for excursion? Her reply is, 'it's already paid for using edusave and if I cannot go, then you waste money.'

Am I the only lazy mom around here? :oops:
I expect all the columns incl my name and tel no to be filled before showing it to me . I say my job is just to choose option and put signature.

Hi-5, me too. DS will know my lazy pattern by now and will diligently fill up everything before getting my signature. I told him this is the same method in my office.

dd filled up the form except Parents’ signature.

I told her this is a form of training…

for me, also include ticking on \"yes\" to volunteer ME to volunteer for her class activities. :roll:

DD did that before too! She says since I not working so can go along. :roll:

Enjoy the fact that your kids actually want you there! It may not last! I have a very good relationship with my girls, but now they are in their teens, they don't want me around too much for school and social things. They say I am scary and frighten their friends, but I think it's because I cramp their style. I'm quite happy to be left out of most of their things, anyway.

dd1 would fill in the details. dd2 won't.

They won't make decision on my behalf though. I told them before. They each get 1 vote. I have 400 votes. So much for democracy :evil:

I would be upset
Confirm throw them the unfilial hat

Do you shop for clothes with your girls?
Or they go shopping with their friends?

slmkhoo:

They say I am scary and frighten their friends

If they ever dare to say that, I would retort they are obviously mixing with the wrong crowd :mad:
Time to change friends

I don't take it to heart. I remember being a teen, and no matter how much you love your parents, there's a greater feeling of freedom and independence when you are on your own without them there. I never did anything I couldn't have let them see, and I trust my kids will be that way too. And I don't mind being called 'scary' - my kids say it with a grin and are only half-serious, but we all know that discipline levels are higher in our home than in many of their friends'. They don't resent it, but they know their friends may not be used to someone like me!

Nowadays DS also doesn't want me to be around him when he is with his friends. He wants to look grown up. I use it to my advantage. I threaten that I will pick him up from school and walk home with him if he does not do certain things that I asked him to do It works every time

We are not democratic either. We tell our kids they have speaking rights but not voting rights. Only parents have voting rights. On the other hand, we do take what they say into account, so there has been no revolution so far.

Yes, done that too! Mine are girls, so it's less shaming to them, but I have said that if they misbehave in certain ways, I will accompany them everywhere, visit school to talk to their teachers etc. Works like charm!
