Unexcused

One thing I have noticed about Britanie is that she always feels like someone is out to get her. Or steal something from her. She is constantly losing things and blaming it on people that have come over to the house. MY FRIENDS!!!?? One thing that bothers me is that when the items mysteriously show up, she never once apologizes for calling my friends thieves. The story is just dropped. I was very concerned about her having a locker partner. I worry for her partner. She is already expecting to get something stolen from her this year. It is very sad and it will definitely be dealt with.....BUT today we noticed that she has an unexcused absence on her day from yesterday. When Britanie was told that it was there she immediately blamed the teacher. "They are always screwing up the attendance." Of course we already have a plan to resolve this. She needs to get a signed note from the teacher and get it cleared. If it is not cleared....she will have consequences. It will be interesting to see how she handles this. I wonder when she will start taking responsibility for her own actions....or if it will ever happen. We shall see.....
