I need Walmart!

Apr 02, 2003 20:14

( I am going off to Walmart tonight. Part of my reasoning is paranoia--with the school complaining about 'clothing' being dirty, and Sean's drooling problem--well, he is very heavy. He has gained so much weight that; none of last years shirts fit him. My paranoia has them reporting me for sending him in 'non-appropriate clothing' if it gets warm. )

You have every right to feel that way. I am so sorry you have to go through this crap. Mothers shouldn't have the fear of losing their child(ren) to strangers, it's hard enough just being a mom. These people at the schools should be ashamed of themselves. They should of called you first and asked for a conference or JUST asked you what is going on with such and such? This whole thing just irks me to no end!!!
Hang in there!!

BIG HUGS

I have been talking to people and many told me that, parents of special needs kids are constantly being investigated--especially if their needs are severe. With me, I have 3 so, it is ASSuMEd that I am overwhelmed ( ... )

Vent away, that is why I am here. Your right about discipline. Today kids just run wild. It's really sad. They will grow up to be leachers, instead of law-abiding functional adults who can support themselves.(sigh) But yours will.:O)And so will mine.:O)
Hang in there sweetie!!

Better today... placid_chaos April 3 2003, 16:49:44 UTC

The speech therapist called me today, to see how I was doing. I have known her for 5 years and she has taken my kids overnight when Taylor had her reflux surgery. She said that, no one in the school has been talking about it, and she usually hears the 'gossip' when she does bus duty so--I am hoping that it hasn't gotten all over the school ( ... )

I grew up in the city. I have seen REAL abuse. We had kids that had human jaw prints on their backs and chest--places that, with a shirt on didn't show. We would see cigarette burns and things like that at the public pool. They would be reluctant to take off their shirts but, you couldn't swim in the pool unless you did ( ... )
