[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 69069, member: 2063"] husband just got of the phone with difficult child 1. She was to have started school yesterday. Evidentally she did not start the public school as they are missing something from her school record file. When she was registered and they reviewed the information they said nothing about this. We got all excited and I do mean we that she was going to be going to school. Now I am willing to admit people make mistakes however somethings happened that I question. First, when husband tried to call yesterday to see how first day went she was in the shower when he called and would not be able to get calls by the time she was done. husband asked staff how the first day went. He was told not good. That is it. No mention of not going no nothing. So we have to wait to talk to the school advocate from her placement on Sunday. We are going to see her on Monday for an appointment. If they had let me know yesterday I could have tracked down whatever this mystery item is and had it for Monday when we went. She is 3 hours away so this is not a joyful trip if I am going to have to make it again because someone was stupid. Okay now the other part of what angers me about the situation is that difficult child 1 was rightly upset. I respect that. I am upset. Well the school advocate told her if she handled it well she would take her out for ice cream. Not something I would have been keen on but okay I was willing to work with it as it was a Major disappointment. Well the advocate evidentlly went to some other stores while they were out and also bought difficult child a new pair of shoes. This may on face value not seem like a big deal however it is huge. difficult child 1 is a shoe addict. So we are very careful how many we let her have. We just did the school clothes shopping and were very explicit about the fact she didn't need shoes. When it comes to clothes and shoes we have a very rigid policy with the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that we approve all of them. From past bad experiences of people buying things they shouldn't for the wrong reasons etc. My brain is throbbing. We comply with pretty much every request. Why is it that these people and places can't seem to understand we have certain things we would like a say in? One thing after another. There isn't enough calgon to take me away right now.
