[QUOTE="Winnielg, post: 586105, member: 16059"] OMG - So frustrating. I do not understand. Sometimes I feel like they have all of these cockamamie rules in place just to see how many of drop like flies from confusion, frustration or exhaustion! Re: Parenting classes..... A few years back difficult child's team (parents, school social worker, private therapist) all decided that after violent behavior once again we would file a PINS - in NYS that is a Person in Need of Supervision - kind of like Probation Lite. where he be be assigned a juvenile probation officer. This was in hopes of relaying to difficult child that his actions have real life consequences. Well the first HUGE issue is that the County, as soon as they heard he had Aspergers, tried to push back and say it was a mental health problem. I calmly informed them that NYS Children's Mental Health (and even gave him a contact) agreed it was a PINS case. Well in the end the only thing they would do after putting us though an intense intake process - where difficult child was not inconvenienced AT ALL, of course - was refer us to mediation - which all in all was pointless. The reason I tell all of this is that if they had approved our case we found out that we would have been mandated to attend something like 30 Parenting Classes. Suffice it to say I feel like every week with our various care providers and the school are like extended and constant parenting classes. But the funny part is I cannot imagine what KIND of classes they were have? For parents of delinquents? It was almost comical. [/QUOTE]
