Ohhhh, yeah, Janet!!! LOL!
Janna,
I don't know that they would have sent him home if it had been a normal school day. But it was Valentine's Day and classes were out, and they were just doing fun stuff like making brownies, crafts, etc. It wasn't like he was going to miss anything.
Plus, I called to ask what time I should pick him up at carpool, and he had just walked into the ofc at that point. I'm not sure if his teacher had planned to send him home, or if she just took advantage of the fact that I was pretty much ready anyway, keys in hand.
He has been somewhat better this weekend.
No racing heart beat today.
But he did blow up yesterday. Partly my fault ... he said he wasn't hungry but I served him dinner anyway. (One of those obnoxious "mom" habits
) He was extremely rude and disrespectful and yelled at me, I sent him to his rm and told him no more PS2, and on his way, he shoved me and flipped the bird.
Luckily, husband was there.
difficult child ran upstairs and cried for 12 min (husband timed it on his watch; he was going to check on him in 15 min) and then difficult child came downstairs with-a really nice note.
I asked him if he was upset because we misunderstood him, or because we took away the PS2. He said because we misunderstood him.
We had a long talk about what he thinks in his head, vs how he comes off to the outside world. He needs lots of practice. Sigh.
