all I can say is, I KNEW it! I knew something was brewing. My son has had 1 full month of excellent behavior with his new 1st grade teacher. School personnel all commented on how well he was doing, how much he grew over the summer, blah blah blah.
So when the phone rang at 5 pm today, I knew with a sinking feeling who it was. 1st grade teacher. Son had an awful day at school. Pushing, sptting, defiance, mean, mean words. Blah!!! She wants to meet tomorrow morning. Mentioned Aspergers... has he been tested? OF course he has! 2 times in his life, actually! "Results show no Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)."
Sad thing is, he was in a gosh darn friggin awful mood tonight. He used to calm down when I got him. But tonight, he was so angry at everything I did. Repeatedly told me how boring/stupid-headed his day was. I would hug him and he would calm down, but a few minutes later he would be at it again. Trying to pick a fight with me? I don't know. Took 30 minutes just to get to the table to do homework. Maybe just trying to show me how upset he was? But when I pleaded with him to tell me what was wrong, he would say "I am NOT telling". And would look away or hide.
The day had started off (according to teacher) with my son poking and then pushing down another child. Another child's father witnessed it and told teacher. SO all evening my son has been telling me this dad is a "stupid head mean old dad" and telling me that this man could not have seen him push... that what had really happened was that he bumped into the girl and she accidentally fell. Now normally I would think he was lying to me BUT he was SO angry at this man for "lieing" about him. Said he was going to put him into the garbage can because that is where he belongs because he is a liar. How could this man see one thing and my child have a completely different story about it? (I have already posted about this... recurring problem with my child.) I don't know who to believe.
So then there was yesterday where my son was apparently in tears all day because he missed me. Was just really sad. He is like a jekyll and hyde.
I just worry that now that his dr jekyll has appeared to this teacher that we are going to go downhill from here... we had done so well for 1 month!
This is so hard... don't know what to do. I work full time, am a single mom, and realistically do not have the strength, time, or money to take care of these problems.
Sorry to vent... again...
