We are still really struggling with getting my stepson to cooperate with his school work. I recently realized the phrase, “Thank goodness his his head is attached or he would forget that too” really is true. We can’t get that kid to remember anything. He has been grounded for five days now and everyday it is a new excuse. I got distracted. I forgot. I don’t know where it is. I think it is in my desk. Don’t know what to do. Losing my mind. I told my husband tonight I was going to make a couple of t-shirts for him to wear to school that said -

Ask me if I remembered my math book

As me if I remembered my agenda

Ask me if I remembered to bring my homework

Hubby didn’t even crack a smile. Come on, he knows I am kidding. sortof

So if anyone has any great tips on how to get a 9 year old boy to remember to bring stuff home from school that doesn’t require me actually attending with him, I would love to hear it. We need to get his attention in some other way. And I haven’t a clue as to how.
