I Wish Someone Would Wave A Magic Wand
A typical morning today, although I did actually get Corey to school one we were there he refused to go into his class. I got the other two boys to their classes with Corey still following me and crying and then I took him to the office. The school counsellor came and got hold of him and I left in tears while he was trying to grab on to me and screaming for me to come back.
I really cannot deal with this anymore, I think I am at breaking point. I just sit here every day crying. I love my little boy but I just don’t know what to do anymore.
On Monday there was a huge fight between Corey and Ben because Ben accused Corey of stealing money out of his wallet – a whole $1.90 this was over – Corey strongly denied that he did and this argument/fight/drama went on for quite a while and really got out of control. No-one won in the end really as we didn’t find the missing $1.90. Yesterday when Corey was home from school I was doing the washing and I picked up his shorts that he was wearing on Monday and guess what was in the pocket? Yep the $1.90. I was so cross when I found it since he was so adament that he didn’t take it and we had all that drama when he had it the whole time.
The reason I bring this up today is that we had more drama’s this morning because Corey now thinks that Ben has stolen money out of his wallet. Oh my goodness, when does it ever end. I know these are quite trivial things that most parents will take in their stride and think of it as something normal that kids do. But it’s the extent that Corey reacts over these things that is the problem. It was ok for him to steal Bens money but you have no idea how he reacts when it is done to him.
This is basically what started the morning off in a bad way and then the whole crying at school thing.
My head just feels like it is going to explode. I can’t think anymore, although I don’t stop thinking but none of what I think makes any sense, it just makes my head hurt.
I just can’t do anything except cry, my house is a mess but I just don’t have the energy.
I just bought Sue Dengates ‘Fed Up’ and am waiting for it to be delivered. My sister has this book and she found it really helpful with her son when he was younger. There is a section about diet and preservatives to avoid so I think I might give the whole diet thing a go.
I just want us to be happy you know. Our family is just so unhappy lately and it’s not good for any of the kids. I just don’t know what to do.





























Keep your chin up! I unfortunately can’t offer advice for you as I haven’t had a similar experience to draw from, but I can offer you a pat on the back and a reminder that this will pass!
