[blparent] school teacher - not an issue

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Nicky, 
A couple questions.  What exactly does your dad complain about? I ask because it's not clear to me if you have consciously or not reverted to being a teenager witht he attitude of "Dad will take care of it" or if complaining is how he shows concern. 
Have you talked with him and then most important listened to what he has to say? You don't need to agree with him, but you'd do well to listen. 

In an earlier post, you mentioned beginning to agree with your dad re the school handouts. Why did you agree with him? 

Finally, where is your son's father? You two may not be married, but that doesn't get him off the hook unless he is a really really bad dude.  Note, a really really bad dude isn't "I could have and should have chosen differently" it is somebody that does things that are morally and legally wrong. If he is that kind of guy, what are you doing about it? 

It might also help if you did things the way you'd do them if your dad wasn't around. How would you have gotten to the school if you lived by yourself?  

Sounds like there's more then just blindness going on here.

Just an update... 

        Hi all. 
I want to thank you all for the confidence boost. 
My dad, son, and I went to meet the teacher yesterday. 
I asked her if she could email me the handouts and I was very pleased to find out that she would be happy to do it for me. 
But my dad still requested the paper handouts for himself. 
IDK why, but it was rather upsetting that he feels he has to be involved. 

Anyway, success! 
Oh and I’m going to pick my son up from school, give my dad a break, lol. 

It’s confusing to me that my parents complain, mainly my dad, about having to do everything, but when I take a stand, it back fires. 
Meaning, it’s hard for him to accept me being independent. 

Nikki
