[QUOTE="Christy, post: 192517, member: 225"] GRRRRRRRRRHHHHHH! I am so tired of broken glasses! difficult child just turned 10. He started wearing glasses at age five. We have twenty pairs of broken glasses! No this is not a math word problem, it's just a vent. I am so sick of repairing and replacing glasses. difficult child's thing at school is to smash his glasses when he gets upset, or to bend and twist them in a rage. He has stress balls, a pillow and other more appropriate things to beat up on at his desk when he feels like this but evidently none of those things are as satisfying as destroying his glasses. The school does try to take his glasses from him as soon as they see that he is upset but is not always proactive enough as this can happen instantly. I buy the flexible frames the ones that aren't supposed to break-HAAA! This school year, he lost them on the second day. They never turned up so I had them replaced. He wore them for two days, got upset with the teacher because she took his paper airplane away and he crushed his glasses I think that they can be fixed but what is the point? He has an astigmatism and is far-sighted. He can see without glasses but has difficulty reading without them. Anyone else dealing with this? I feel terrible sending him to school without glasses but he can't be trusted with them. I have him do chores to earn the money to repair them but this does not seem to have have an impact. They are in close reach and he is not thinking clearly when he does this. Do I give up on the glassses at school and keep them at home for homework purposes? Do I send his to school in prescription swim goggles, LOL. He could probably find a way to break those too! I know he counldn't handle contact lenses at this point. Christy [/QUOTE]
