Punishment Time


My oldest is not in school today because he is suspended all week. He decided to write a dirty word on a wall outside of his school in mud.

As a punishment I'm having him do work around the house. I gave him a choice of working outside or inside. He decided inside. I have a lot of paining, texturing, sanding that needs done. 3 rooms of painting the dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. He decided he would start in the dining room.

This was the easiest because it had just a few small holes he put in the walls that needed patched up and sanded. That was done pretty fast and he started painting. Before he called it a day he finished 2 walls. Now he is shampooing the dining room and living room carpets. Once he is done with that he can stop for today.

He has worked the whole time he would have been in school with a few breaks for food and/or water.

Small victory for mom

Yesterday after getting the kids to school I called the school to discuss them giving my kid with food allergies chart in his file school lunch. I don't have him signed up for it, he brings his own lunch, and they want to charge me $2 something. Needless to say I was beyond upset. I took my CBD and made the call. I had to leave a message.  I braced myself for more crazy as the phone rang and it was the kid's school. This week has been nuts with Tuesday being the only good day my son had. "WTF now" I said right before answering.  It was a lady about the school lunches. She tells me we can put a block on him getting the school lunches. I just have to write a note to the school board. Thank you. Now we can maybe get these behaviors under control.  Now maybe we can get these behaviors under control!

This last week with my oldest has tested me to my limits. A little background: my oldest is 11 with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This presents as anger. If this wasn't hard enough I have off and on depression and anxiety.  So my oldest has been refusing his CBD the last few weeks because he wants to go against what I say. P.S. once upon a time he was diagnosed with ODD. The diagnosis was only taken away because he was doing good on the CBD. It takes a lot of work for him to take the CBD these days. Sometimes he spits it out and some days he doesn't have it at all.  He has also decided he will be eating foods he is allergic to. This being milk, eggs, wheat, and peanuts. Halloween started this carp. For Halloween I normally get him candies he can have so after trick or treating he can trade. These food allergies are not life threatening, but do cause a lot of behaviors and the ODD behavior. Yay not! He didn't trade candies out and said he was going to give them t
