[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 585323, member: 9177"] Let me get this straight. You get little to no support from the school to get difficult child into school. (You should DEFINITELY be documenting each and every instance where nobody comes to help you!!) You get little to no support from your husband to get difficult child into school. (Document these instances also) You are stressed out to the point of feeling like you are having a daily panic attack about getting difficult child into school. Maybe, for your own sanity, it's time to take a HUGE step back. It's not good or right that this BS is taking such a huge toll on you. Of course the first and best action, in my humble opinion, would be to follow through - go visit your mom! Invent a health issue where your mom needs your help if you must. Hell, stay a month! husband and difficult child are both old enough to fend for themselves. It peeves me off that your husband is "too busy at the gym" to help you deal with getting difficult child to school. That's total BS. Must be nice for him! Another option - become the chauffeur and NOTHING else regarding school. Put ALL the rest of it on your difficult child and the school, where it belongs. You say that difficult child swears she will be on time. Tell her fine, and that's it. Don't get onto her any more. Make sure you're ready to go when it's time to go, and let her be ready or not. If she's not ready, not your problem. Take her to school in her pajamas if you have to. If she refuses to get in the car, call the school for help. If they won't help you, document it. You might need to call the police station to see what options there are for school refusal. If she refuses to get out of the car at school and nobody is there to help you, I'd be very tempted to park my car right up front in the fire lane and sit and calmly read a book until she either gets out or someone helps you. For your own sanity, it definitely sounds like it could be time for some tough love. Or at least a trip to your mom's. [/QUOTE]
