Lies....

Well yesterday sucked! I found out my 14 year old boy has been lying to me for three weeks about going to Math Plus. Instead he has been hanging out with his friends. Then yesterday Math Plus was cancelled so he went to a school dance and in horse playing with Keegan he hurt Keegan and I was called to school to pick him up. Now my boy is in deep trouble here at home and is eternally pissed off because of it. Now no one is really getting along in the house. As part of his punishment for lying we cut his hair....it is butched. And it will stay that way as a reminder not to lie to me again. He will also have to write 7,000 times "I will not lie". 1,000 for every time he lied to me. I don't know what else to do with him. He's already grounded from his friends because of lying to us. Now we are trying this. I really hope it works. I think the biggest reason he lies to us is because my husband is so hard on him about everything. I don't care what it is my husband is rough on him. It really sucks because I can see this being a set up for my boy leaving as soon as he possibly can. I hate the entire situation. I sat and cried over this yesterday. It didn't seem to help my husband understand that he is causing this. My husband thinks it is just the way our son is. I really am getting disgruntled over all of this. Now my son is only allowed to go to school and come home. Nothing else in between. It sucks. I hate doing this to my child, but I know he needs a punishment to understand that he can't lie to us and get away with it.

In other news, my 6 year old got hit on the bus yesterday and got a bloody nose. I got called from school for that one too. All told yesterday totally sucked. I really hope today gets better.
