[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 226267, member: 3626"] Here I go again. I understand how you feel but you have a 6 YO. As I'm sure she'll remind when she's older, she didn't ask to be born. So, no, it is not qiute your time to fly. To crawl, yes. Maybe even to stand up straight and walk, but to run or fly, no. If it was just your older one, I'd tell you to soar with the eagle, not just fly a little but with a little one, your first responsibility is to her. When she's older, then it's your time to fly, so long as you don't have another little one. I do understand your need to find a way to earn an income but you may discover that you really can't do a job that sends you away for training right now. I'm hopeful that you won't have to work really long hours to make up for not working 9-5 but I have my doubts. I wish this wasn't such a dream job for you but it may be one you'll discover you can't do with the needs of your children. It really stinks to be a parent sometimes, but we did take on the responsibility and sometimes we're stuck with that responsibility far more than the average parent. As to your teen, I think I'd be seeing if the school could find someone to escort to each and every class until she figures out cutting is not an option. You can't force her to do any work but you can certainly try to force her into class. I don't envy you this one. My daughter was a pro at cutting, even when escorted to the door of the classroom. She'd just wait until her escort left and then leave herself and mine didn't even have a boyfriend issue, just a school loathing. I think I'd sit boyfriend down and tell him he has a choice. Make sure she doesn't cut class to be with him or understand that they will never have any other alone time together until she's out of the house and regardless of what is said, you will be assuming every cut is to be with him. Maybe make it that every cut adds a week to the time they can't be alone. He may just surprise you and work for the goal of being able to date her in the future. [/QUOTE]
