text: my 15 year old son would not get up and go to school today, so i called the school and they sent an officer? to go to my house and pick him up. i didn't know what else to do. he tries to skip school almost every day. and i finally had to go to work, so i got to work, picked up my phone, and called the school. i told them what is going on. i am a single mom and i already have my hands full. it is about a million times harder when i constantly have to beg my kid to do homework, get up in the morning, go to bed on time, etc. but i still feel guilty. i keep thinking about him being hauled to school by the police and it makes me sad. did i do the right thing? tough love may hurt you, but it'll certainly help your son. hats off to you.
