Title: Bad News...
Post by: Horsefan1023 (Seal) on April 06, 2009, 05:58:16 PM

I, unfortunately, am the bearer of bad news.  Not horrible news, fortunately.  At least not yet.

To cut to the chase, my dad has induced some new crap about homework and study habits.  From dinner until all three of us kids in the family are done with homework, there will be no electronics, not even and iPod to play music.  And to make matters worse, he says that if one of us forgets an assignment, the whole thing blows up and all electronics shut down all week while we still have homework.

Why?  Just because my other brother (not Mr. Guy) got two C's on his report card.  Two C's.  What is so bad about two C's?

So, if Mr. Guy and I vanish for a week, blame my dad.

I can understand putting homework ahead of the internet (as much as I hate to admit it), but that's just pathetic! Threatening to put your kids back in the stone age as punishment for getting C grades? That's just plain stupid!

*snorts at thought of beating dad*

But, my grades aren't on EdLine, so he won't know if I don't turn something in! :woot2:

But on second thought, that means my fate is in my brother's hands... :thumbsdown:

Holy crap.  So basically, you and Guy are being punished for your brother's grades, which really aren't that bad?

WTF?

Hopefully you can still come on, though!

OH MY FREDDIE!! That sucks.  :(

Hope he brings up his grades.

When I got grounded, my brothers still had free access to the computer.

My friend at school claims "It's all for the better"  Which it isn't.  But thanks for all the support!
