thank goodness you told me that ! i thought there was something wrong with mine. we were considering sending off for a replacement ,but hubby had snip after the shock of another one arriving, so that is impossible! or maybe have his hearing checked. he is on another planet, and always seems to have 3 or 4 things on the go at the sametime ! playstation on in 1 room, computer on in another and him sat downstairs watching cartoon network . i seem to spend most of my time switching things off- wish he had an on /off button sometimes. lol. sue. |

Thanks Sue! lol Mags Her boyfriend is 17 and left school. He seems like a really nice lad and I'm pleased she's got herself a boyfriend. But when you try and tell her anything she just argues the toss. She doesn't do anything around the house and spends most of her weekends in bed. She very rarely joins in with the rest of us so it's hardly surprising she doesn't feel like part of the family Jeanette x |

How old is the boyfriend? - is he/should he be studying too? Could they study together? - two birds with one stone. Or perhaps you should compromise and say that as long as she puts in say 3 hours a day - double at the weekend until she's caught up- she can see him as often as she wants within reason? No coursework done - no socialising. I think you've got to be cruel to be kind. If she throws away her exams - she's throwing herself away too. I think she's trying a bit of emotional blackmail there! I don't think what you are saying is unreasonable. Magsxx |

Had a big row with my eldest this morning. She is in her GCSE year at school and we have had 2 letters from school in 10 days saying that she is behind in her course work. She has a new boyfriend who she obviously wants to spend time with but we have said she can't see him 2 nights a week as she must concentrate on school work. Just got a text from her saying that I don't make her feel like part of the family and she doesn't feel like coming home. Don't much feel like being here myself :-( Any advice pleeeeeeease.
