[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 485770, member: 6705"] Random thoughts: Jett's 3rd grade teacher told us that he needed to be medicated. P/T conference, 2 months in; Jett had lived with bio until just about 4 months before the conference. I very quietly said, "Mr. G, I understand you believe this, however one Jett has gone through some extreme transitions in the last few months, and two, I would appreciate it if you would not mention medication again until you get a degree in medicine. This conference is OVER." husband and I got up and left. (This was before I found the CD board.) The next week, Jett was in a different classroom. (Not knowing what to do, I sent a letter to the principal and CC'd the School Board and State BOE... Yeah.) I honestly think husband was shocked, but no teacher is going to tell me what to do regarding medicating my child. (They can always suggest an evaluation and tell me their observations...) Staying up until all hours, video games, cell phones, and so on. IC, I need one of those batteries, I've never had a phone that lasted days... Maybe one if I didn't use it AT ALL. I keep a charger at work, one in my car, 3 in different places at home... Bio gave Onyxx a cell phone at age 10. It was the source of much drama (when she lost it to us for her behavior and then stole husband's, attacked him, and other stuff); when she was 13 we replaced that with one on our plan that could be locked down. Jett had a TV, VCR, DVD player and Playstation in his bedroom at bio's. We wouldn't allow the kids TVs in their bedrooms at all. As my Mom put it - I could have a TV when I could pay for it... For a long time, Jett was not even allowed to take his Nintendo DS in his room. Not ever. I, too, read under the covers, and was always a night owl, but I got plenty of sleep. I still need my sleep - without it, I'm an A-1 witch. [/QUOTE]
