I'm so disappointed in Austin.
I got a call yesterday from Austin's teacher. Mrs K was SO upset with Austin. He cheated on his math test, screamed at another student, defy's her instruction, and consistantly has a horrible attitude.
I talked to Austin yesterday when he got home from school, and all he could do was cry. He knew he was grounded, and that the computer, playstation, and television are gone for atleast a week. He says he doesn't know why he does this, or acts like this. He just says that he knows he's bad.
Mrs K did comment on how smart, and likeable he is. But these actions are uncalled for.
I have a meeting today afterschool with Mrs K and the guidence counselor with Austin.
Hopefully I can get some advice, as I don't know what to do or why he's doing this. I gre up an only child, and I know I didn't act like this. I gave Austin the chance to tell me if he was mad at me, or his Dad, and he wasnt mad at either of us.
My Aunt thinks that he's maybe just now learning that there are consequences to his actions, and he's seeing what he can get away with. Part of me thinks that could be it, but I don't know.
I wondered it maybe part of it might be horomones?? He just turned 8 in July.
Although Matt hit puberty a little earlier than most (full goatee and all by 9th grade). His hair on his legs is turning more course, and less baby hair like. He is also getting some peachfuzz in his armpits (which he's constantly scratching).
Ugh.. I don't know. I was so upset with Austin yesterday, he really disappointed me.
