I (m38) work from home, while my wife works as an ER nurse. So when it comes to things like getting phone calls from our kid’s school I’m usually the one who deals with them.

Today I got a call from our oldest daughter’s “Kay” (13) school. They said something about there being issues with a dentition Kay got and I need to come down to the school. I got to Kay’s school to find Kay, her principal, and vice principal all in the Principal’s office.

Last Monday Kay got a detention for being late to class As her school works they give you a week to serve your detention and if you don’t you get ISS (in-school suspension ). They went to get my daughter for ISS and my daughter refused to get up telling them if they made her go to ISS that’s double jeopardy since she already severed detention and that she should be allowed to use her rights to the 5th amendment… pretty bold for an 8th grader to say. I asked them if they could check to see if she served it since I do remember having to pick Kay up late so she could go to detention.

Well turns out Kay did serve that detention After looking through video cameras the teacher that day just accidently didn’t mark her off. After being there for a while it was almost afternoon I decided to just say I was going to pick Kay up for a dentist appointment anyway and Just get her out of school early. Kay and I just went out to lunch and then home.

My wife worked an 8-hour shift yesterday so she got off at 2 Kay gets done with school at 3 so she was surprised to see Kay at home. I explained what happened and how I just decided to bring her home early while I was there. The wife got mad at Kay making her go to her room for being disrespectful and a smart ass. She then got mad and yelled at me calling me a AH for rewarding Kay for acting like a smart ass. I’ll admit Kay was a smart ass but she was using stuff she learned in school against them… usually, she’s a good kid and gets great grades so I seriously don’t see a problem with it but my wife still won’t talk to me AITA?
