[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 73387, member: 3704"] Be good to yourself AllStressedOut!!! You have a very full plate by anyone's standards. Over the years I've grown to hate Fall and Spring (not for the seasons themselves, which are beautiful) , but for the stress and expense brought on by school and school events. Not to mention school open houses, 504 meetings, telephone calls from unhappy teachers.... I've learned to literally put one foot in front of the other and send the stress out the window. I guess there are always going to be teachers that don't like my difficult child - heck, there were teachers that didn't like easy child...It's hard when "the powers that be" don't love and understand your kids like you do and sometimes I find myself asking "Why did this person decide to be a teacher , they so obviously don't like kids..". It has really helped me to accept the fact that folks are often not going to like- and seldom are they going to understand- difficult child. It's just the nature of his disability. I don't know why , but that acceptance has liberated me and helped me move to the work at hand. Hang tough and know that eventually those bills will be paid, and the work will get done, and things will calm down (a little :)) Maybe you can do a half-and-half day - Half rest, and half what you need to be doing. Works for me! Take care. [/QUOTE]
