PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 22

[1Prince2Princesses]

Caro, kids are so difficult at that age. Bryan is in 8th grade this year, too. I'm fortunate that he does his work on his own, but we had a year or two that we struggled with it. Have you considered asking them to hold her back a year at your request, and does she know that the counselor said they'd pass her anyway? I would imagine that knowing that she could get left behind while all her friends are in HS would be a good incentive to do her work and pass.

OK, I thought WD2 was going???

She probably is...I didn't realize that. I'd love to see her again!


Caro, as a parent you can insist that she be held back if you know she's not ready to move on. Hopefully you'll be able to get to the root of the problem so you'll know how to proceed. How so very frustrating for all of you.

Caro, everything a child does is for a reason - the hard thing is, even they may not know what that reason is - could she being doing this thinking it would MAKE you help her? Just a thought.

I just spoke to my FIL. DH's grandmother has been moved to a rehab facility, but she's not really eating anymore. She'll feed herself for a little bit, and eat some when she's fed, but she's almost at the point where she's refusing food. She's on oxygen, and that's about as "life saving" as they'll get with her because she's a DNR. My FIL doesn't think she's coming home. I'm glad I went to see her on Saturday.

Good point. When I was having the issues with Bryan not doing his work, it was an attention thing. I started out sitting with him making sure he was doing his work. I finally got fed up and told him that if he would just do his work on his own, that we could spend more time doing other things together. I started making more of an effort to spend at least 15 minutes a day or so talking with him or helping him with something, and the problem resolved itself pretty quickly.

Not all kids are alike, but from what I remember you telling us about your DD, this could be the case with her too, Caro. Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll work it out and do what's best.

I'm so sorry!

Snowy, you have a good point.

We forgot to put Nutty on our not-going list.

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Nutty I'm glad you went, too.

Nutty's on the list already.

Did Amie ever decide if she was coming or not?

 

[snowwhitesmom]

[disneynutt1225]

I'm so sorry!

Nutty I'm glad you went, too.

Thanks guys. Now I have to figure out what/how to tell my DH. This is the hard part about him being away.

 

[tevagirl]

I am seriously going to hurt him.

Scrappy, please tell Kayla they are in my prayers.
