difficult child had a school choir concert at 8 pm. Got home at 3:30 and started getting ready for it. By 6:30 she had hair, make up and required black slacks and school polo shirt. She had an hour before we had to leave and we asked her about homework. Well... on Thursday she has a huge English assignment report due. She is behind. Would she work on it... NO.
It was about this time that I see she is wearing DFES (Exchange Student) black stilettos that she had bought to wear with prom dress. When husband and I told her she had to take them off and wear her own shoes (black dress shoes with about a 2" heel) she thru a fit of epic proportions. Tears, screaming, slamming doors. Well, the tears melted all the eye makeup she had on and it actually dripped on to her yellow polo shirt. More tears because all her "work" on her make up was ruined.
This morning I am drained. I understand that some of this is typical teen, but the aftermath of it isn't. I had a talk with DFES and explained that we didn't want 13yo difficult child wearing stilettos to school. DFES understands, as she is almost 17 and this is her first pair of high heels that she bought after getting here in preparation for a dance. She did wear them to football homecoming - but that is it.
Going to call the school again and once more, plead for some type of help for difficult child in the school setting. KSM
