missed class

Published

Well I missed class due to dropping off bf at work. We can only miss 12 hours in 2 semesters and then your out I feel doomed now. He knew the rules of class he knows I'll be kicked out. What if my car breaks down or a flat tire I'm so depressed any advice.

My advice would be to get your priorities straight. BF has to know someone else who could have taken him to work. Or, you could have dropped him off early enough for you to make it to class. They aren't playin' in nursing school, and if you don't make it your priority, you WILL wash out. This is your future; treat it as such.

I do treat it as top priority I'm not stupid. He has no other way to work I am the only one with a car in a house of six people. Thanx anyway good advice lol:/

This is not boyfriend's problem, this is your problem! It doesn't matter whether he knew your class rules or not. You knew the rules and you will have to tell BF his ride to work is not your responsibility. I agree with the previous poster that if you decide to take him to work, he needs to be inconvenienced, not you. Getting to class, on time, has to be your priority, period. Good luck!

Is there no public transit where you live? And really, he literally knows NO ONE else who could give him a ride? What about carpooling with a co-worker?

If you really are the only person on the planet who can take him to work, then you need to let him know you will leave the house no later than X o'clock and if he's not ready, too bad, you have get to class. Make it early, build in a good cushion for yourself.

It is up to you, and you alone, to get to class on time. Did you not know this would make you miss class? Why didn't you drop him off early? How does he normally get to work? Teachers can be a little sympathetic if there's an emergent type thing, like a flat tire, but that's usually if you still show up covered in oil from changing it. Did you show up at all or just blow it off since you were already late?

I know, I know, it's tough! As someone who struggles to overcome a life-time of putting other persons' needs before my own, I feel for you! Though it may sound harsh in print, but unicoRNurse's advise is spot on compassion that works.

Let everyone in your house and your life know that and then act that way. Give yourself extra margins of safety to allow for dropping off BF, fixing a flat, idling through a traffic jam, etc. etc.

Good news is that you AREN'T kicked out and you can take action to prevent that happening. Wishing you the best.

Are you asking for advice? I do not understand. Priorities and time management are up to you as an individual. Life happens. Pregnancies, deaths, car accidents, health problems are all apart of life. You have to do what you have to do to keep it moving or stay at a stand still.

Nope was told I was late even though it was only by four min and that it was counted as an absence i was told to go home so I did I cried regrouped myself and have been told a hundred times that he's sorry. He messed around looking for a lighter even though he had one. Yess he did not pay attention to the time or anything I was out the door waiting. The bus does not run here. He will be getting better sleep and getting up wayyy earlier now. Even if I have to be a @$#%% about it. Lol
