Responsibility

That must be the theme of the week, at our house this week. This morning Joseph was to be at school at 7:15 for student council, we did talk about it last night when he went to bed. He did not set his alarm earlier or just didn't get up, so he didn't go. I'm not sure yet what happened. I don't know if I made the right choice, I'm sick of enabling him, when he should begin to have some resposiblity for his own activities. (This of course is not the first time) We didn't talk about it this morning, I'm not sure he even remembered when he left for the bus, I'm sure he'll mention it when he gets home this afternoon. He also needed some supplies for art class this quarter, he left half of the things at home. I will not be taking him the stuff, he'll have to deal with the consequences.

So? What did he say when he figured it out?

He only needed them for the quarter not the day and he left them home on purpose, not so I'd bring them, but because he didn't want to take everything all at once. But I thought he didn't ven remember about them, so I wanted heto take the resposiblity to call and ask me to bring them.
