That was it!

Corey immediately went on a rampage that I always get socks for Ben and Lachlan but never for him, he always has to find his own.

Hang on a minute……  I haven’t finished getting the socks yet, this is just the first pair I found and they just happened to be Bens.  I haven’t found any for Lachlan yet either, but could I explain that to him???

Oh, he was just so angry because I had socks for Ben and not for him.

I should have just let it go, but I didn’t, I went on to try and explain to him that the reason I always find it hard to find socks for him is because he doesn’t put them in to get washed.  He takes his socks of anywhere and just leaves them there, he takes them off outside and leaves them lying outside.  There are a couple of pairs in the lounge, so I tried to explain that was why I could never find clean socks for him, because he just doesn’t put them in to get washed even though I tell him until I’m blue in the face to put them in to get washed.

Mind you, the same is for Ben and Lachlan, usually I can’t find any socks for them because none of them put them in to get washed.

Corey just went mad though, he cannot handle it when I try to explain something like that to him.  Actually, I really don’t know why I bother, I should know better by now just to let it go and pick up his socks myself – which I usually end up doing anyway.

It was just so unreasonable this morning though, the big carry on over getting Bens socks and not having any for him yet.  Then that was him in a mood for the morning, he carried on and swore over everything.  I didn’t have time to hand out any lines or anything before school so I told him that he would be writing lines after school because of his language.  I shouldn’t have told him, I should have waited until after school, but I didn’t want to just spring it on him after school as then he would have forgotten about this morning and not know what he was writing lines for.

But because he knew he had lines to do after school he started crying and carrying on and wouldn’t go into his classroom.  I just walked away and took Lachlan down to his class and when I came back he was gone.  The school counsellor saw him sitting there and then told me later that within a couple of minutes he was fine and talking to the other kids and went into class without a problem.

All the dramas over a stupid pair of socks!!!

It was good to talk to the school counsellor again today though, I was talking to her about how we stopped going to the psychologist simply because of finances, so she is going to see if we can go through the school system which wont cost anything then and they do diagnosis also, so that might be the way for us to go.

Well, thanks for reading, if you relate to anything on our blog, please leave a comment, I would love to hear from other parents in similar situations.

Take care
