By the by, because kids sometimes don't really get it - when they want to have fun and you're negotiating about curfews etc. Tell them that you get it - you want to have an awesome weekend but that you want them to have an awesome *life*. Like tens years of 9 out of 10 happiness is way better than shooting for a 10 and overdosing on the weekend, to put it starkly. It's *sustainable* happiness you want her to have, you're not against fun, or even a trip to Amsterdam as long as it's informed.
You could also bring it to her and just be very present. Show her how much you really really love her and she'll never forget anything ever again - and her friends will never forget the time you brought her soccer kit to her. If you are a secure person you can really ham it up. I'm getting the heebie jeebies just thinking about it from her perspective. P.S. I didn't take school seriously at all until Uni. I never got an A in high school but Neuropsychopharmacology was a breeze - I got to choose
Bring it to her this time but later sit down and talk with her and tell her if it or something similar happens again, then you will not bring her the stuff.
This might surprise you but I never really had ambition in school (until college). I would forget stuff at home almost daily but I never asked my mother to bring it to me because I wasn't worried about it. If Jane notices that she has forgotten things and cares that she has forgotten them you have taught her SO much responsibility.
Lmao you blog about the most retarded stuff, who the fuck cares dont bring it to her, let her learn her leason then maybe next time she wont forget anything.
Cleats and spanish homework are not the same as letting a hamster die! Sheesh...
Cutting pocket money is nothing - she knows she'll get more next week!
Look, this isn't the end of the world. So she loses a grade in Spanish and has to sit out of soccer for one lesson. So what? The only way kids are going to remember is if you don't do it all for them. Let her see the real and relevant consequences.
There is no context for me. Yes, I think you should bring it to her. She forgot. She's a kid. If you told me that she's forgotten it every single day for the past month? That you warned her three times you wouldn't follow her around with her stuff? Then leave it at home. There is not really one right answer.
if she had a hamster and forgot to feed it, would you let it starve to death to teach her responsibility? she's 12 cut her a bit of slack, maybe deduct some money from her pocket money as a charge for delivering the said items lol
