Have A Good Old Moan....

Aww Glitter, from the stuff you post, you always seem like an awesome parent, don't worry!:3
Also, that seems so insensitive about the teacher!

German exam tomorrow. When did we get the materials we need for it? Today.

Naomi, I'm sorry about your shirt and your stupid teachers 🙁

Glitter, I'm sorry your little boy is having a hard time adjusting.  Some kids find it easy, others not so much.  I would pull the teacher aside and ask her to please tell you privately if he's had any problems and not to announce it in front of everyone, pointing out to her that saying it in front of him and all of the other students/parents will probably make him more self conscious, less likely to ask for help and ultimately, have more accidents.

And kids are cruel, even 4-5 year olds 🙁  Tell him that people who don't want to be friends with him are stupid heads who don't deserve to play with him and that there are a lot of other kids in the playground who would be happy to be his friend.

I hope things get easier for you guys soon.

Glitter, is school attendance compulsory or voluntary by you at this age?  Little boys sometimes mature slower than little girls, and it sounds like he's really having a hard time adjusting to it all.  I agree with what Intemp had to say.  If it continues to go poorly, do you have the option to keep him home with you for another year?

BIG HUGS!!!  🙁

Glitter, I home school my eldest. There are various reasons as to why, but if you feel you may want to consider that route, feel free to ask me anything if you like. I'm not saying you should pull D, but remember that school has a duty of care to him, and you have a right to speak to them to ensure he gets the support and encouragement he needs and deserves. And remember you do have options.

Poh, I am so sorry you're hurting. Virtual hug and emotional healing vibes coming your way. xx

Naomi, you'll rock your exam. Stay positive! 🙂

I'm a bit annoyed with my work placement. It was meant to be 6 months, then I was told 3 and now I'm working 4 weeks (two unpaid) whilst the other guys I was doing it with have got either 3 months or 6! The Creative Director said that she's going to try and extend it now that they have me in.

To be honest though I might not bother, two of the guys I'm working with I went to uni with and though they're lovely one of them is just so annoying! He sings/Beat boxes/taps out rhythms all the time! He makes random noises really loudly as well as stupid voices, he does over exaggerated gestures over small things like a passable cup of coffee and he keeps farting and then talking to his "B-hole", or trying to get one of the other guys to smell his fart without them knowing and then congratulating his "B-hole".

Thing is I'm the odd one out, the other two guys seem to find it funny (one of them definitely does the two have been inseparable since uni started!), they also join in the singing and beat boxing. I don't sing in public and I don't know how to beatbox, so whilst everyone else is having fun I'm sitting there getting annoyed by it, but if I listen to my earphones I miss important conversation!

Agh. Oh well.

thanks you guys, the morning after was absolute pants, but without sounding heartless or anything, i'm just ok now. been talking to my new friend and my best friend and just doing stuff all the time and it's really helped. no one from school is prying and fussing on facebook thank god and actually a lot of them don't even know, which i'm glad of, they can find out and think what they want i don't care tbh.

*group hug*

I spoke to my husband about this last night, and he's dead set against it. He thinks it'd be in D's best interests to just try and adapt. I can see positives for both to be honest. He had a better day today I think, he still had one small accident though. What really sucks as he was all happy coming out of the class, and then him and another boy banged heads accidently and D burst into tears 🙁

I dunno, maybe I need to not get so emotional about it all. It's just hard!

I hate how my parents view my weight loss. My mum thinks I'm trying to starve myself and my dad thinks I'm trying to impress some guy. They don't seem to understand that I just wanna be healthy and feel confident for once.

omg exo i am actually in such a similar situation it's really annoying!

i'm eating less than usual, just dinner and tea and the odd bit of something inbetween and i've been having bad stomach aches and all she says is "well until you start eating again i don't have sympathy cause you're being silly now"

i've actually lost weight i can tell because i can fit into my jeans and my leggings are baggy why does she see it as a deliberate act to hurt myself here? it's not like i'm eating tissue paper or some crap

The Bf has gone out, really wanted to but felt like he just wanted to go with his mates... So sat at home feeling like Bridget Jones eating ice cream...

my mum just tries to feed me things I don't want, chocolate, pizza etc. I am eating less, I've cut out all snacks, fizzy drinks and I have smaller portions for my meals, but I'm definitely eating. I don't see how that's starving myself.

my mum has been doing similar things today too, we went to this continental market thingy in town and every food store she'd make a fuss about it, she offered to buy me some chocolate stuff and i said no thanks. went to the normal market and she was going on at me what do i want for dinner. maybe i'm just thinking it, but i think it's because this morning, i put on my newest shorts that i haven't worn for a month or so and they're quite baggy on me now and i showed her and i was kinda happy cause, well, yeah i've lost a bit of weight and stuff and she was getting snappy asking if i was happy with myself and if that's what i wanted to achieve by 'not eating'.

dude, just because i don't sit there nomming sh** like i used to jeez. i turn down food alot because i'm just not hungry and it'd be boredom eating. gooodddd.

I don't know if it's really a moan, but I wasn't sure how else to post it.  I'm a bit sad today as it's been 20 years since my daddy passed unexpectedly.  He's now been gone from my life longer than I knew him... and my memories of him are starting to get fuzzy.  I wonder what he'd be like if he were still here.  He'd be 59 now.  I miss him loads.  That is all.  xx

I'm sorry, Modified. 🙁

*hugs* thanks... xx
