I have a few woohoo's that are being overcasted by some issues with DD.
1. I have had 20 oz of water every day this month. Some days have been rough but I finished the 20 oz.
2. DD's finger is not broke. She just jammed it really bad.
So now the issue with DD. I got a call from her today from a friends phone crying. I couldn't hear her and I am not a fan of her calling me from someone else's phone. She doesn't have her own though. I told her to go to the office and call me. Which she did. Some kids are making fun of her on the bus and she doesn't want to ride the bus home. She was trying to ride the bus to a friends house and we would pick her up there. That was a no. I am not fans of this family and won't DD over their house again. DD would not tell me what was being said so I had go talk to the principle or councilor. the principle emailed to tell me basically what DD said and that she gave him names and and also that this is happening to a 5th grader too. SO now I am stressed. I just want to be able to sit down and talk to her to really see what is going on. I was on my way to get a healthy lunch when she called and then went back to my office so I could hear her when she called me back. I ended up with Chariles for lunch. Philly steak sandwich, fries and a pop. Not a good day. I will let her therapist know all this so they can talk at their next appointment.
Oh dear. Good for her talking to the principal. Now that he has names something can be done. Maybe a new seat on the bus-behind the bus driver?
Kids at this age can be so mean-there was a girl in my daughter’s class when she was in 5th grade that was just hateful. It is so heartbreaking to watch your kids deal with this-but I promise you it does pass and our kids are better and stronger for it. I just kept emphasizing to my daughter that something must be very wrong in that girl’s life and there is something wrong with them if she needs to be mean to other people to feel good about herself. And that the old advice about ignoring them does work eventually because what they want is to see you cry. We also practiced what her response would be if this girl started in on her.
Hang in there, but I remember those days all too clearly.
