Feeling Smug

So Ch had a meeting today to review her 504 plan for school. For those who don't know it's a document that lists accomodations for her to help her do her best in school. Well Carla wasn't going to go because she is still hurt. She ended up having to be to work early anyways. So, I decided I was going to go. I am the one who pushed to have her tested and get this done. I figured that 1 of 2 things would happen. 1) Charlie would be there and he'd been annoyed that I was there. Or 2) He wouldn't show, and I could feel superior about the fact that he either forgot or didn't think it was important. Also, if he didn't show, I didn't want there to be no one present for her meeting. Well, Charlie didn't show. Hahahahah. Of course, I want to call and rub it in about the fact that he is supposedly so interested in her education, yet didn't make the time to go. He will, I'm sure, tell Carla that she should have reminded him. We told him the date and time..why should we have to remind him??!! Nothing major happened at the meeting. She is most likely going to remain in the extra help classes. Which I think is good. I hate to think how she'd fare without them. The teacher mentioned that she had talked to the other stepmother (I think she must call Ch's teachers every week!!) and how she cut Ch's reading time from 20 min per night to 10 min per night. I know Ch hates to read, but I think that cutting her reading time only allows her to get her own way. They let her sit in front of the TV for hours. Even my 2nd grader has to read 20 min a day! Anyways, I was glad I went to the meeting. And him not showing up just proves that he really doesn't pay attention to what's going on nor does he really care! I am dreading tomorrow...seeing her. And now Carla is working late, so I'll be the one at home. Ugh!
