Due to a nasty bite mark and bruise easy child gave her on Friday. The school psychiatric at my work pulled me into his office today because difficult child's teacher at her school saw the nasty bruise on her arm today. easy child broke the skin and it looks nasty. It's so bad that we had to apply Neosporine in case it becomes infected. difficult child's teacher was mortifed when she saw the bruise, so she called the psychologist to ask for advice on what to do.
Last Friday is when the big fight occured. I was at work. easy child was home sick, and difficult child was getting ready for school. I had gone to the grocery store and bought easy child some pizza rolls and chips for lunch that day. Normally both my kids get lunch in the cafeteria, so I don't have much food in the house for lunches. Anyway, difficult child had already had her breakfast, but claimed she was still hungry after I had left. She told easy child she was going to eat a box of his pizza rolls (I bought him two.)
There was no need for her to eat any of his lunch. She already ate a good size breakfast, and she also has an opportunity to grab breakfast in the cafeteria when she is dropped off at school. She was minutes away from getting on the bus. easy child of course refused to let her eat it. They began arguing and started throwing stuff at each other. difficult child grabbed the box of pizza rolls and easy child tried to take it out of her hands.
When she wouldn't let go, he bit her on her arm. She scratched up his face. difficult child won. She got her pizza rolls. I didn't find out about the fight till I got home later. At the time, difficult child's arm didn't look that bad. She had gone to school that day and nobody noticed. Now that it's a few days later, her arm looks bad. I explained to the psychologist what happened, and he assured me he will call the teacher back and advise her to leave social services out of it. That's not to say she still won't call, or anybody else at the school for that matter. I was involved with social services five years ago and it was a night mare. Please send good thoughts my way.
