[QUOTE="Star*, post: 334965, member: 4964"] Porphyria. We have a friend that suffers from it. WHY anyone would ever think that this is a romantic disease is beyond me. Scabs all over your arms, no cure, blood transfusions, sickly, our friend is mostly embarrassed all the time about his skin. That may be the 'vampire' disease she's trying to connect to. As far as butting in or butting out? This one I have to vote butt out. Actually part of me would want to pick up every single ringing phone at night, cover it and yell "OMG it's Dr. Phil." and hold out the receiver, but I am sarcastic and it's not helpful with a difficult child, and I know it. (rolls eyes). My luck his bald butt would call. I WOULD on the other hand have a private call with teacher and just for my own satisfaction ask her if the project had changes etc. You could word your inquiry so as not to be damaging to your daughter, or tip your hat to the teacher. Maybe word it in such a way as to ask if there was any progress etc. with your daughter or what the teacher thought of Dr. P as the choice? Daisy, Dude is 19. I wish I could sit you down and say that I don't have these episodes any more and that at a certain point in your life with your daughter you won't either. I really do wish that with all my heart. What I can tell you for certain is this is one of many exercises that you as a parent will be put through - kind of like the addage; whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger with a twist. Whatever gets one over on you makes you wiser. It's twisted logic, but there's always a next time of having to think one step ahead with our kids. It's THAT 'thing' that makes ME want to pull my hair out and makes me hit my knees harder. I don't know any more if I pray more for patience or the wits to outsmart my own kid. lol. Then I find myself asking - Dear Lord, give me courage, strength and smarts to outwit my son who is less than 1/2 my age, protect him from the world, and my tongue....ugh. You know? So take this event and turn it into a learning opportunity to make yourself well armed for future events/battles. You're going to be VERY smart.....lol VERY VERY SMART. (sigh) Why I'm so brilliant because of my kid.... I shine.....hahaha......(crazy woman laugh) come....laugh with me. :raspberry-tounge: Seriously - learn from this - so you know EXACTLY how to plan and be one step ahead ...the NEXT time. There will be a next time. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
