I'd dial the number for them and give them the ride to the office!!!

That's exactly what one of my good friends did. She handed the phone to her daughter - "Here!"

My kids know better than to throw that one in my face! In fact, I don't wait for them to do it. I throw it in their face! "You want me to call the Welfare people to come and get you? One less mouth to feed ain't gonna affect my tax refund one bit! I only need two of you to get the max back!!!!"

Well, we kinda hit a rocky patch. My daughter started having some issues with the work, so she started getting sneaky about finding ways to get away from her desk. After some counseling she managed to get back on track. I figured out where she got off track and made her redo a few assignments, some of them twice, and now she's gotten over the hump and is back to diggin her school work again. All is well in the Ricoville School District.

Good report, Rico. You have to stay on them! It's easier to relax at home OR they think they can!
