difficult child 1 had a really rough time Friday on the bus. He's getting more and more anxious about Christmas and changes at school. The last bus matron was really aggressive and he's on the bus for almost 2 hours (he has a 1 hour time limit-don't EVEN get me started!) and with ADHD that's really really rough.
We got a new driver on Monday last week and a new matron on Friday (ahhh transitions...gotta love 'em!). Friday all he** broke loose, yelling, cursing, etc. and the school calls and tell husband that 1 was having trouble (they called right in front of difficult child 1 - a BIG no-no!). husband asked what they needed him to do and they said they had to let him know. Again, what do you need me to do? "Nothing". Are you calling right in front of him? Yes. Ok, great move, you've now set him off for a GREAT ride home. OOPS!
They get here and the driver tells me of the cursing, swearing and yelling and that he may have to write him up. I'll talk to him and the situation will be addressed.
We had a really good weekend and I worked with him about the behavior.
difficult child 1 gets on the bus, apologized and the driver very roughly says "it better never happen again - or I'll write you up - I won't tolerate this...etc." difficult child 1 looked really upset, so I told the driver that with his particular disability, it's really best that he just accept the apology and trust that I've addressed the issue. His tone changed, but the damage was done!
<u>So much for my first day alone, in my house, in over 2 years.</u>
Dam*!
