NickyB Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Yesterday, we all had a really good day - little DS was realy good at school and even let me cut his hair Even big DS was in a good mood Today, we get to the playground and little DS punched a little girl for no obvious reason Had to spologise to her mum and explained about his condition - she was very understanding. I'm just really fed up with the emotional rollercoaster that I seem to be on at the moment I'm living on my nerves and always waiting for the next problem to come up. Big DS is doing the 11+ today and tomorrow, so that's just adding to the stress I know most of you are probably feeling much the same. Just wondered how you cope with the constant ups and downs? Felling a bit better now I've written this Nicky x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joybed Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Pretty much the same here always waiting for the next thing to slap me in the face. Try to keep as positive as possible but generally feel unwell most of the time and i know it is stress. We have so much going on and have to be constnatly juggling and everyone just expects us to get on with it as we are mums and it is our job. Give yourself a big pat on the back and keep smiling.

NickyB Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks, guys. As always, it's good to know I'm not alone I saw DS at lunchtime today and he had a sticker for doing well in maths, so I was pleased about that Then I had a letter stating that the school are considering asking for a Statutory Assessment due to the disruption he causes with his 'shouting and singing ( !!) '. They feel that he needs more 1 to 1 support. That then sent me into another mixture of emotions - upset that he's so disruptive and he needs extra help, but also pleased because they are wanting to do something to help him. Is it any wonder we're all so stressed? :blink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
