What?! My mother NEVER defended me. In fact, she would occasionally glance at me and whisper in my ear, "you're fucked when we get home."
Anyone else, or just me?
Same. My parents blame me for everything, even when it's the teacher who made a mistake and I, of course, always have to fix it because "teachers are always right" like they're not human and don't make mistakes or anything.
Some parents overdo it, though, and it really pisses me off when I see a spoiled brat who should face consequences for something he/she's done but a parent defends them even though the teacher is right. The teacher isn't always right and in that situation it's perfectly fine to defend your kid, but I'm really sick and tired of my classmates doing dumb shit and their parents defending them all the time. It makes our class look like a group of spoiled fucknuts.
My parents just refused to go to the conferences...I was that kid that sat at in the back and chit chatted with friends and got all A's , so the teachers never had shit to say anyways I suppose.
Anyone else, or just me?
