Bribery?

Ok, so I have resorted to bribery. Yesterday was a good day for MAC at school, this means she made it through the whole day and I didn't receive a call. She came home and I forced her to do homework and we had a nice dinner that Hubby made that I didn't have to clean up. Today was another good day, and she made some money to boot.

She has a form that her teachers are supposed to sign at the end of each class and until today I had never seen more than 2 teacher’s signatures. She would come home and say things like, "Mr. XX wouldn't sign it" or "Mrs. XX was too busy and said to come back after lunch".

I have gotten tired of seeing these blank pages come home and I told her that I would pay her a dollar for every signature she brought me today. When she got out of the car I reminded her that she had 3 pages that needed to be signed. It could have cost me $16 dollars this afternoon if she had brought everything home signed. I promised her that I would give her cash when she gave me her form.

She was so excited when she brought me one form. It had 6 signatures. I asked her about the other ones. She said that she only thought she needed one. Of course she has now had two days and has not gotten the school form signed by any of her teachers. The school form is what she needs to give to her teachers so that they know she has 10 extra days to do any work that was missed during her "absence" from school.

She did get her $6 dollars.
