The First Bad Report

without comments

R and D go to a mother’s morning out program in town, and usually get along great with the setup.  Today, though, when MR picked them up, she received a BAD REPORT.  BAD REPORTS, you see, are what the parents of disobedient children receive.  We have never been party to this, only witnesses to other parents as they are talked to by the teachers.

We are not pleased.

But, in a way, almost relieved, too.  They have both been so willful lately at home, and R has been, to a certain extent, not so good lately, but no one else seems to see that - ever.  Just like me when I was a kid, mom said I was always great when I was with other people, and only reserved the truly terrible behavior for home.  Perhaps I’ve passed it on?

According to today’s report, not so much.  Here’s hoping its just the end of the terrible two’s for R and teething issues for D.
